Good thing we've got so many international allies and are known for being such a stable, reliable economic partner. Now, if you'll excuse me, I haven't read the news in two months and I need to catch up on current events.

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.

The fastest way to have a people turn on it's leaders is for the food supply to be threatened.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if Americans turned on their leaders?
Yup. The US is currently deporting a significant portion of it's agricultural workforce, while putting insane tariffs on the countries it imports food from, while also doing major cuts to the government which makes problems like avian flue more likely.
The Trump regime has a very "let them eat cake" approach to the food supply.
Interesting that the orange traitor flooded CA's farms in response to the recent wildfires, while also threatening undocumented farm workers, while also levying taxes across broad swaths of the economy. Seems to me that he's been instructed on actions to take to raise food prices. Hmm...
Has America considered asking Panama for eggs? Or Gaza?
And they all answered "yes, you can eat our eggs, but not how you would expect"
Let me see... since new years you have threatened to annex Greenland, had Musk call our finest astronaut retarded, called our Prime Minister retarded, recently Roger Stone called one of our conservative politicians a sick demented asshole on Twitter when said politician asked for the general secretary of NATO to not joke about Trump and Greenland and... oh yeah, Trump and Vance attacked and insulted our dear friend, President Zelenskyj on world wide TV.
So...... how about no? Oh, I'm sorry: no, thank you.
Ask for 50% mineral rights and a thank you.
OOTL... What's with the thank you meme?
Other countries: "No. Thank you." 🤭🤭🤭🖕🖕🖕
FUCK THAT. Let's see eggs go to $5/each. We need to face the consequences of our collective fucking idiot electoral choices.
I'm confused as to why people are still buying eggs. I've gotten on fine without them all my life
They were a relatively cheap, healthy, reliable source of protein. Also, they're delicious.
Eggs have been a staple poverty food in the US. Frying up one egg can give you your whole day's supply of protein plus a lot of nutrients, and it used to be that it could do that for about 20 cents. No more, though.
…7 grams of protein as a day’s supply? Ok
Ok I definitely thought they had more. Maybe I'm thinking of a different nutrient. I don't remember. Point is they are nutritious and they used to be cheap.
I like making Dutch babies
The Norwegian government will offer eggs, and we will only ask for the state of New York or as we like to call it: Nye Jorvik. The citizens of Nye Jorvik will enjoy all the benefits from a stabile, functioning social democracy.
Can you ask them to throw in New Jersey too?
everyone moves to Nye Jorvik
Sinnsyk fin ide fra en sinnsyk fin bart
We use the word eggs in German the way yankies use nuts or balls. That said, yes, you can swallow our eggs, dear US government.
How’d your most recent election go?
Iirc, they didn't actually elect fascists.

Maybe it's time for Europe to make a Trump-style "deal" with the US for Ukraine
Hilarious. The US reaching out to the people they've insulted, threatened or victimized in some way, shape or form and asking them for help. And when they get refused, they'll tell the American people that everyone is being so mean to them.
That's what happens when the country is led by someone who has never faced consequences fir anything
No, fuck you.
'Request denied', this is an AI response derived from our 'don't give a damn' American Tech programmers.
I don't know if it helps anyone, but you don't need eggs to survive
Exactly, hamburgers, fries, kfc and pizza are all egg-free. What do they need eggs for, breakfast menu at macdonalds?
Doesn't KFC use eggs in the batter?
