Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
He agreed to be deported to Costa RIca, the safest country in latin america, belize is ok too I hear, and costa rica agreed to take him, but that administration wants to send him to a foreign third country out of sheer ill will.
Because they lied about him for political reasons now they want to hurt him as much as possible to justify it I guess.
Belize is safe for now. Tech billionaires are trying to create their mythical libertarian-land there, their vaunted extraterritorial city-states where they don't have to obey federal laws or anything but the laws they set themselves.
Oh shit, yeah ten, fifteen years ago I read they were advertising to westerners to entice people to retire or move out there, that it was relatively cheap, and safe, and they had communities of other westerners, and they speak english as an official language, as they were a british colony, I think they are still in the commonwealth even.
So it's not surprising their advertising campaigns got the attention of the technofascists and wanting to build their own little fordlandias. Little company towns, where if you got fired your life could be instantly unpended with total ruin.
It sucks too because many of us have wanted to do planned cities, to pool investment, and set up cities built around some industry to make money, with central planning, to live with a higher standard of living with less cost. No cars for everyday use unless you need it for work that uses it, central heating and cooling stuff, like geothermal heat exchangers and efficient adding of heat to that 50 degree year round temperature you can start out with going just 6' underground, growing a lot of your own food, cutting big corporations out of everything basically, internet cooperatives, etc.
But we can still do that if we ever organize, it's just got a bad name from these guys, as with anything good, like reforming the bureaucracy, the billionaires co opt it to make it worse or achieve ill ends.
The tech billionaires are actually morons, if they got their utopia they would be destroyed by it. Free markets don't work without controls, never have, never will. And Ayn Rand wrote those books on a meth binge, went broke later in life, and lived off social security in her old age. If she got her way she would have died penniless in the street.
This dude better get a huge payout when this is over
