Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
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.
That's all the rules!

We need to seriously, as a society, treats this level of greed as a serious, in patient, mental illness that requires treatment.
Friend, you're absolutely correct. And while I love punctuation as much as the next person, you need to ease up on the commas almost as much as we need to ease up on fossil fuel consumption.
It’s grammatically correct.
No it's not.
Here's what the sentence could look like:
See? Cleaned it right up. Now it's down to fewer words and fewer commas while conveying the exact same information.
Remember folks: "when in doubt, leave it out."
I just meant the commas, which are placed correctly as they are. The only thing I’m unsure of is if “seriously” should have a comma before it, too. Anyway, I also enjoy pedantic arguments.
Remember when everyone got together online and decided that we love people who point out grammatical errors in social media?
It's a good thing that I don't comment on social media in order to feel loved.
No, Just need to kill them and process the remains into fertilizer. Then seize their wealth and use it to fund counters to climate change.
Not just greed, but the sheer level of sociopathy you have to possess to be a CEO. That level of "don't give a fuck about anyone except shareholders" will be the downfall of humanity.
