remember the afrikaans he imported over, they were abandoned as soon as they landed on us soil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

White racists only for the new and improved Murica!
Im pretty certain that the civil rights act prevents them from only offering it to white people, as coincidentally the 1960s was when our racist and eugenics based immigration system from the early twentieth century was finally overturned
They don't only offer it to white people, they offer it to people who fall under a specific combination of criteria that happens to coincidentally exclude all but white people.
You think legislation is going to stop them? It hasn’t yet. Buckle up
It is cute that some people still think the US is a nation of laws!
Pretty sure that program is no longer in place after Musk got shafted.
Oh but it is. As is all the other things that benefit Musk. Because his departure is theater. There's a reason none of his contracts have been canceled. There's a reason he just got a huge fat new contract a few weeks ago.
Why do well more than half the news links in this community have pay walls?
This also has a paywall 🙃
I see the whole article?
Then there is your answer:
You see the whole article, others don't. Publishers sometimes decide by your IP, your location etc. if you are allowed to read it freely (also putting rate limits up, so if enough people in your vicinity already saw it you will hit the paywall reasoning that you are already interested and more willing to pay). Or they simply put up the paywall later based on how popular an article is.
Or in short: a lot of new links have paywalls because the people posting something didn't even know there was one.
PS: many people regularly clicking news from all over the world also often have addons, plugins and filters running that circumvent a lot of those paywalls automatically, so we sometimes tend to forget about them...
Fair enough.
I believe that saying you are explicitly providing a way to get around a paywall is technically against the rules of this community or instance because the mods/admins don't want to be taken down for copyright stuff
However, if the above article doesn't seem to be loading correctly for you for some mysterious reason (e.g. who knows, perhaps there's some networking problem or a server outage somewhere), then it's perfectly fine for me to offer you an archive mirror to help you workaround this purely technical issue - https://archive.is/s0EUX
