World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

Care to provide a contradictory source? Or are you just going to say that anything that doesn't agree with you is "bullshit" without backing it up with actual economic sources?
Also, just to add another source that MAGA would find "legitimate", this is from Fox Business.

But hey...I'm going to wait for your sources beyond "trust me, bro".
How do you think selling works. If you sell something, someone buys it from you.
A mass selloff also means that there was a mass buying.
Is THAT what you're having a hard-time grasping?!!
You do know that people put things for sale BEFORE the buying happens, right? It's called THE MARKET.
If you're selling a house, you put it ON THE MARKET and wait for someone to make you an offer.
Now let's say you have a house on the market and you want 400,000 for it. But in your city, a lot of people are moving out and there are far more houses on the market than there are buyers. So you have to lower your asking price in order to entice a buyer to take yours instead of someone elses. You DEVALUE your house to make the sale; take less money than you originally wanted. Doing so devalues the other houses for sale since they have to do the same, and the entire market for "Houses in city X" drops.
If, alternatively, you're the only house that's for sale in your city and there are 10 families looking to buy it, your house's value RISES. Rarity equals Value.
The same rule applies to stocks and BONDS. The US takes loans from other countries by selling them bonds. Those bond's value is based on a few different criteria (stability of the country's currency, etc...) But the important one here for your understanding is that the value is partially based on it's rarity. If all of the US Treasury bonds get dumped into the market simultaeneously, they're not rare anymore, and thus the value drops. If the value of the US Bond drops, it ripples through the economy.
It's supply and demand. The more there is of a certain thing ON THE MARKET, the less valuable it becomes. That's the rule for everything, from stocks and bonds and real estate, to beanie babies and pokemon cards.
Nope. A bond is not a house or a pokemon. All bonds are the same. Only price matters. Not rarity.
A selloff is also a buyoff. Both seller and buyer think they have the better deal.
