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.
-
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.
-
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.

They usually do get paid. Not paying them until they can't make rent and quit doesn't result in the owner paying a living wage.
Yeah, as long ng as the owner can find people to exploit. Again the solution is solidarity against the exploiters.. Whichever form is chosen.
You're making a philosophical argument based on principles, the other person is making a practical argument based on ethics. Neither one of you are even responding to each other.
What do you mean atn ethic decision ? You mean short terme gain ? How is it ethic to encourage the crushing machine to continue it's crushing ? What would happen if these people just decided to say no. We want real pay or you dress your table alone. The fragile employer would be desperate... The timing is just right for this kind of action. But hey let's discourage them with doomerisme.
Depriving workers of wages isn't solidarity, you're just being an asshole individually.
It has to start somewhere.
I know you're basically allergic to them, but have you heard about unions?
Don't eat at restaurants that exploit their workers?
Do you think customers being assholes is a step towards unionization? That you're making people choose between food and rent out of solidarity with them?
Do you think customer subsiding employer salary is a step in which direction I am curious ? Why not just let it fail instead of counting on people to again, split the loss and the business take the gain, it worked so well the last thousand of time it was done. Look where we are, people are complaining because other people are not paying a share the employer should have paid...
Do you think employers actually paying wage is a step anywhere at all in the process? No? Ok cool bub
Americans are so tame that crazy. These guy keep trying to send an image of power but they are submisive like crazy. Their élit fucked them so hard they have daddy issue now...
