Please Do Not
Report a submission just because you don't like it. The report function is only for spam. Spam = actual spam. example: "I made $67,053 on google last week. Click here to find out how!"
Again, 'spam' is not an article you don't like. Spam is a sleazy advertising gimmick or a phishing attempt. Stop wasting our time with fake spam reports.
Rant about articles you haven't bothered to read. If you come in and say something like "I didn't read this, but it's crap!" that indicates you probably don't know what you're talking about. Therefore you may receive a warning or a ban. If you want to rant about articles you haven't read, go do that at r/worldnews or r/news.

RULES
Please do not post duplicates. They will be removed on sight.
Attempting to derail discussion and/or discredit another user by calling them a 'bot', 'shill', troll', 'wumao', 'Ivan', etc.; and/or attempting to discredit sources with accusations of 'state-owned media', 'propaganda', 'fake news', etc, may result in a warning or a ban.
Material about the stock market and government statistics is usually time-sensitive. The value of such material declines as it ages. So don't post old material about the stock market and economic data. Stuff older than 2 weeks or so will be removed at our discretion. On the other hand, an academic paper from 2 years ago (as an example) might still be relevant so will not be removed.
Editorializing a headline is allowed. However, intentionally misleading editorialized headlines that say the opposite of what the article says, are not allowed.
No political advertising. No PAC campaign material
Posting AI-generated images and passing them off as real, without including a disclaimer that the material was created by AI is not allowed in this sub. Posting AI-generated articles written by ChatGPT or any other AI application, without including a disclaimer that the material was created by AI is also not allowed in this sub. Exceptions will be made for satire. Violations may result in a warning or a ban.
Users may post a maximum of 8 articles per 24-hour period in this sub, to prevent any one user from monopolizing the front page.

What if we collectively boycott?
We've all read about historic boycotts in protest of something like taxes, but what if we turn on our "We the people" brains and turn off our hyper-consumerism brains and boycott these dang corporations?
We tend to forget these companies- and I'm not just talking about the Forbes 500- depend on us, solely us, the consumers, as their profit margins.
If this is the case, and it is, if we stop buying their **** for 2 weeks, a month, 90 days or so, they [The companies] will 1) lose money and 2) HAVE to do something! What is that something?
Lower the dang prices of whatever we're not buying in protest of their insultingly outrageous prices!

Why are US people so obsessed with Chile's economic model ??
I've seen many economists and speakers citing Chile as the role model on how to run an economy of a country. Under specific economic model and ideology, Chile transitioned from an under-developed to a developed (not so but kinda borderline) country. Moreover this change in economy led to the change in political power, the military had to leave after the economic reform (or whatever) completed.
But... just do a reality check here. Asian tigers namely Japan, South Korea, Taiwan were far ahead of Chile during the developing phase in almost every aspect, whether in term of growth. overall productivity, economic diversification, etc.
China's economic growth has left Chile in the dust. I know the term "Miracle of Chile" coined by someone but if you think Chile economy is a miracle, what China has done in the past few decades ? A beyond miracle ??? Not only that China dictatorship is not gonna loosen its grip anytime, soon.
Currently Chile economy is still heavily dependent on Copper and Lithium mining. Well, i don't think that's the ideal of what a developed country is supposed to be.
What's so special about Chile ? or it's just another right winged propaganda ?

Hypotetical question, about the next posible recesion, financila crisis or downterm. Lets Strategize!
Ok, so hypothetically lets say we know for sure a recesion, downterm or financial crisis is coming in 10 months.
stemming from to US to the rest of the world, after living through the 2008 recession you have some recollection but you were to young to understand or even take interest in this global event.
my main question is if by some miracle you know for sure its going to happen again in 10 months how would you layout a plan to take full advantage from it, like
- Stock Puts
- Lending Money
- Buying Cheap Land From Despetare Investors
- Selling a service or product everyone needs
- Preparing land with self sustaining capabilities
- Clearing your debt
In General PREPARING for what is coming, lets strategize:
PREPARE
↓
HOLD or WITHSTAND
↓
TAKE ADVANTAGE
↓

Why do reporters keep asking the Fed the same questions?
How many rate cuts do you see in 24? Are you coming to cut around the election? Are we at peak rates? How many rate cuts do you see in 24?
Why don't they ask stuff like:
How has the ending of the bank term funding program affected the liquidity of the banking system given that rates are higher than when it started?
How much of an affect has the draining of the reverse repo counteracted quantitative tightening and restrictive policy, and how do they consider movent in or out of that facility when determining appropriate pacing for rolling assets off their balance sheets?
Why were uninsured deposits secured for republic first? Was a 6 billion dollar bank a systemically important bank that could have led to contagion?
