World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

[Some]Americans: Vote for Donald Trump because they're upset about the high cost of living
Trump: Does everything in his power to increase the cost of ...everything
That’s the annoying part of this. Prices never creep down the same way they creep up. So things will always be more expensive. The only way it ever corrects is very violently in a massive depression and even that never fully corrects it.
Ship more to Canada, Mexico and the rest of the world...
And there is zero resistance from the entirety of the rest of the US, there is no one there able to see how these are acts of self destruction on a very large scale and the reputational damage is becoming irreversible.
Took his sweet time to realize he could put +100% tariffs.
It's fine tho, we'll sell our high quality liquors to other markets. See? The problem with putting tariffs to the whole world is that the whole world answers in kind. But only against you, wno started the tariffs. We can sell our liquors to Asia, to Canada or to Australia just fine. But your whiskey is right now nuclear waste; nobody wants it.
I wish more people would understand this perspective. Americans might be picking a fight with the whole world, but the rest of the world only has to worry about 1 country picking a fight with them.
And the world restructures its trading away from the US; they come out fine eventually but the US loses money and influence.
I read somewhere that the US president can only impose tariffs of up to 25% unilaterally and that anything higher requires congressional approval.
Could be that when it's considered 'retaliation' that changes the rules.
Laws are only as effective as their enforcement, which means the US president can currently do pretty much whatever the fuck he wants to.
Champagne is a status symbol, people in clubs that need to show off are already paying $2000 for a bottle worth $50
Absolutely, and they'll likely pay 2000 for a bottle that costs 100. Realistically even more....
Yeah, especially with such things, it will probably just become even more desirable by those stupid fucks paying that much for sparkling wine
So, this could actually be a win for Champagne, just like Cuban cigars got the image of being rare, good and expensive
DO IT! MORE CHAMPAGNE AND SPIRITS FOR US!
He doesnt apprecheate taste either way. Wouldnt even recognise it if it would shoot him
Next month: 1000% tariffs, and blame Europe for the high prices. Wouldn't surprise me if he wants to go too war with Europe.
At this point It would be funny if the other parties forced him to have absurdly high tariffs like ten-quadrillion percent on everything. Just do it
Just have the tariffs double each week like russia did with the Youtube lawsuit.
No everybody loves the most bigly numbers everyone has ever seen. Make it one thousand octrillion per cent more than russia. Actually lower the tariffs on everything russian by the same amount.
Line must go up!

Do it.
Next, Trump signs an executive decree that says they can now make champagne in the US because the US had been treated very unfairly by France by not allowing champagne to be made elsewhere and now that the USA can do it, everyone is going to become very rich.
...or something.
I mean technically anyone can call it champagne. I believe the only law is in France itself or possibly the EU. But I’d be curious how enforceable it is outside of gentlemen’s agreements.
France has a worldwide trademark on the name Champagne since 1891, and it is one of the many named protected EU wide by the "protected designation of origin" registry.
But you can find "legal" US Champagne, because "California Champagne" was a separate trademark - any US manufacturer that made it before 2005 can continue using it.
Though it would be kinda hilarious if the Trump decided to start disrespecting global trademarks like that, as that's something that works both ways. Care for some French or Canadian made Tennessee Whisky, anyone?
Tennessee whisky is not a marketing argument in Europe, you're safe there.
Easy: build a network city owned by corporations. Call it champaigne. No one will notice (in the us)
