A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

In general, we frown on self promoting accounts, but in YOUR case, this article doesn't seem to be just actively stolen from another source, so I'm allowing it for now.
Opening a discussion with other mods and Admins as to how we want to handle this.
Thanks!
This administration is so corrupt, you can basically monitor the betting and the stock markets for spikes like these, and that'd be a pretty good indicator that you'll be attacked/sanctioned/tariffed and whatnot.
And they'll get away with it
Scooby Dooby Doo... where are you...
Time to get rid of that old, crippled whore a.k.a. the stock market. Too easy to manipulate on a scale that moves billions if not trillions worth of "value" to the upper crust.
This is them getting rid of it. Polymarket is basically just a website where people bet on anything because the SEC allows that now.
It's also basically the thing that's made America as shit as it's ever been
On one hand, I’m appalled. On the other, I could use a new car.
They will continue to steal and steal until there is nothing left, then they will take what you have, unless stopped and that will take the same level of action that they are willing to use on us.
Or he's taking his decisions based on poly market bets?
Oh my god, that’s so dumb I honestly wouldn’t be surprised.
This is all Barron
I’d find that honestly the least objectionable option. Obviously trumps not clean on opsec, so Barron probably has a pretty clear idea of what’s going on, but at least he’s not profiting off of his own elected position.
Not good, to be clear, but least bad.
