    What supply chains need to be blocked so that they stop making bombs for Israel? Asking for a homework.

    Probably should have thought that one through before pulling the trigger on tariffs with zero research

      Oh come on, are you trying to say there’s a better way to bring manufacturing of specific high end parts to the United States than blanket tariffs on everything?

        Have you tried making all the input materials more expensive too?

          Well we can compensate by automating everything to keep the costs down, literal no brainer.

    America is going to realize how much they’ve relied on other countries to make their things, so that they can come here and be marketed in superfluous values.

      Excuse me, a third of the country was screaming that this was going to happen, a third was screaming for this to happen harder, and a third was uninspired by a boring Kamala

        Bold of you to assume that last third is even aware that there was an election.

      In the case of the Americans I’m most familiar with, they already knew the US is reliant on foreign raw materials and manufacture. The idea is if they stop getting things from China, they’ll have lots of jobs and be self-reliant. I’ve not been able to impress upon them what a terrible idea this is.

What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn’t have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title format

Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don’t like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.

URL format

Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

[Opinion] prefix

Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn’t explictly endorse.

Country prefix

Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn’t clearly mention the country.

Any kind of discrimination will not be tolerated.

5. Ad hominem attacks

Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can’t argue your position without attacking a person’s character, you already lost the argument.
