Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

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.

That's all the rules!

Fox News was pushing that Americans should get chickens so they can get their own eggs.

The democrats, "we better stop. we might lose our brand as a gop sub."

Imagine campaigning on ‘immediate relief’ and then reposting an article that screams ‘suck it up.’ Iconic failure. Missed opportunities to explore potential solutions or broader economic implications.

Currently in Australia eggs range from US$3.40 for a dozen cage eggs, to US$5.50 for a dozen free range organic.

In a German Aldi it ranges from 2,60€ for a dozen eggs from indoor chickens to 3,80€ for organic free range. Cages are forbidden here.

Why are they complaining about eggs, can’t they just eat cake?

I really hope most people got this reference :)

Our education system is bad, but it's not "don't teach about the French revolution" bad. Hell my high school even made a point to point out that Antoinette was a teenager who likely didn't actually say that

She had a fake rural village built so she could cosplay as a peasant, though, so it's not far off.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I can't imagine anything she could've reasonably done in the environment she lived in that wouldn't've been deeply offensive to the peasantry. Versailles was at its core a tool to insulate the nobility and separate them from reality. Her life and death were tragic, not because of some condemnation of the poor who killed her, but because they weren't even wrong to do so and yet this teenager who was probably one of the least evil people at Versailles had to be the one to pay the price for the systems crafted by people like Louis XIV and Maria Theresa Hapsburg.

The republic was necessary. The fall of bourbon was necessary. The people were right to be mad. But there is a tragedy in how some people are corrupted and broken by power they wouldn't have asked for and have to pay the price for it

Eggs are an ingredient for most types of cake
