Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

It’s good but pretty expensive.
I don't care.This is actually better for the environment.With a smaller ecological footprint.
This is america where we pay our farmers to grow stuff that they can't sell. And we think we like it this way

US cattle inventory is at a 70 year low anyways.
Meaning we couldn't keep up with global markets anyways. Let other countries take on the ecological destruction that comes with trying to export meat. Every have a feed lot next to your water supply or a processing plant in your town? We need to fall back to smaller domestic market where local butchers are actually needed to supply their communities and not large grocery stores.
Listen dude, if you want to get the uparrows you gotta say how this hurts America, maybe a little #fucktrump, et cetera.
Uhhhhhh what. America not selling beef over seas hurts America in the short term. That's too much beef for just America. Our beef is worse quality anyways.
My preferred beef, personally, is from local farms, and so I'm all about the idea about smaller farms. I'd be lying if I said I didn't buy from factory farms, chicken, beef, and pork, but I try to go local when possible.
Although as I'm writing this, I'm really not sure if local meats and their prices are affected much by the factory farms.
So yeah, I guess all I mean is that I'm totally cool with an America that has fewer factory farms, the operations, from top to bottom, seem to thrive on just terrible conditions, environmentally and all. And I'm also cool with the massively wealthy families who own these farms maybe feeling a squeeze.
Liberals don't like it when you highlight that what they support is bad too.
Yes, it's shitty for business and the economy and will hurt the country short term and these export relationships may never be rebuilt, and that's counter to what Trump promised so "haha leopards eating faces".
But when you highlight that these industries are harmful and exploitative appendages of the American empire, and their collapse will give your children a chance at a better future, downvotes and disengagement.
Right after ceding the global ev market to china. The guy is a jeenius.
"Good news, everyone!"
Trump the comical Farnsworth of the real United States.
Ahahahaha America is the land of complete douchebaggery!!!
This is the first thing Trump has done that actually could lower grocery prices.
It won't though because supply and demand are not equal countervailing forces, all of supply is controlled by a literal handful of agribusiness conglomerates. The ranchers themselves are being squeezed for decades now, the three large Meat Packing houses on the other hand are making money hand over fist.
Prices are high because of price fixing, because of illegal trusts that the government has not enforced for decades. It worked with eggs, as long as they have someone to blame it on.
Egg production is a different story. You want cheap eggs? Then we have to factory farm. Once bird flu gets loose in these monster facilities, they have to cull every bird. Couple of years back when egg prices were crazy, they had culled over 50 million birds.

In another year, when all of the post-tariff trade agreements are completed, we're going to be ceding a whole lot more than that.
Not that Donald will give a shit. He'll have added 5-10 billion to his personal net worth by that point, and that's all he cares about.
Oh the ag. collapse could be, at the very least, interesting.
Bad enough that the lions share of the industry will need major handouts, or more likely that farm after farm will be bought out for land-lease to former owners, and then given handouts to offset purchase price. But, the midwest corporate cash crop farms have been fighting tooth and nail against soil conservation methods just to squeeze a few extra bucks out.
I so hope we don't end up getting into another dust bowl.
I'd highly recommend folks look at keeping up a community garden or two if possible, or helping out at one if not.

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!
Idiots.
I hate this. China is just as shitty a trade partner as America. They are reactionary and impose nonsensical tariffs in response to perceived slights.
Increasing trade and dependency with these countries creates a deterrent against free speech.
Let countries like this stand on their own.
