Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

It is sadly not a satire article and comment section there has taken it quite seriously as well.

I would have posted an archive.org snapshot instead but the latter refuses to crawl the site due to pay wall restrictions.

Loads of regulations related to banking

Ehhhhh I would say quite a few banking regulations are there for good reasons. But I'm not a banker, so maybe I'm missing a lot.

You apparently missed the fact that I put that in both sections 😁

There's tons of regulations that are absolutely necessary and others that are bad and lock people in to bad things.

Example: It's impossible for someone to start their own competitor to Visa/MasterCard due to the regulations!
