Not The Onion

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!

Here’s a solution: Nationalize all major industries.

I dunno, that sounds suspiciously like... socialism! (gasp):-P

Oh no! Anything but that!!

Exactly this. We wouldn't tolerate not being able to vote on healthcare decisions outside of work - why should we accept not being able to vote on benefits inside of work.

Perfect! I'd been looking for an easy way to get rid of both the baby and the bathwater.

Have you tried rampant, unchecked capitalism? You can get a lot of money for both those things in the right circles.

Worked great for the postal service!

You can thank republicans for crippling the USPS.
