Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

You sure about that? We’re talking insurance, not all tankers would sink, the war itself is billions per day.

The US government investing that much into a bunch of oil tankers would actually make them bigger targets because it would be another vector from which to bleed America's coffers dry.

Yeah we can't afford that either.
