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.”

Comments 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!

China's idea of free trade is unilateral: it's them being free to export. They're massively protectionist within China, mainly through non-tariff barriers such as arbitrary regulation.

I'm referring to the current president-elect of the US having the emotional maturity, intellect, and personality of Eric Cartman lol
