Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Cut CEO and Executive Pay to increase competition in the market.
Cutting minimum wage is punitive bullshit.
We have to pay top wages to attract top talen you know....
One is the free market and the other isn't.
What really needs to happen is have absolute visibility on people's wages and job advertisements.
CEOs compete on wage because they can see each others wage.
I'm not against removing the minium wage but I do support ubi in that case.
Yeah I'm not allowed to tell my co-workers what I earn.
Of course I do anyway because what are they going to do about it? It's called Glassdoor and while its interface may be one of the worst designed websites on the internet, it is a valuable resource.
Honest question, why aren't you allowed to tell your coworkers what you earn?
