United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Billionaires are generally the wealth creators, not drains. How many people do bezos and musk employ? How much tax do they, their companies, and their employees contribute?
I want you to engage in good faith with this thought experiment.
On one hand, you have Costco - many employees, no billionaires, all employees have good benefits, company pays its taxes. On the other you have Amazon - many employees, one billionaire, many employees are working poors, on snap or similar benefits. Amazon skirts its taxes as much as possible, while US subsidies its employees.
Which one helps society the most as a whole?
Google Jim Sinegal mate lol
Also Amazon seem to have great benefits:
