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.

Let's pretend the Queen of England didn't just finally fuck off or all the other female authoritarians/war criminals, let's remove her agency and attribute any good she does to being a woman.
It's more sexist than the implication itself.
It's also just really fucking annoying that this platitude comes up every time a headline is posted about a woman doing good, as if people are just incapable of thinking it through.
Neither Clinton nor Harris would have supported this, and in fact, they'd have told their rotating villains to oppose it and claimed powerlessness, as Dems always do. (Which is, in part, why they lost their elections.)

Okay, run an actual leftist woman and isolate the variables.
I personally think they care way more about losing money and influence than hating women.
The misogyny is just a side gig.

But wait....who is gonna pay for it...sorry American here its a habit.
Soon Mexico will have to build a wall to keep Americans out.

And make us pay for it!
I think we already built it and paid for it.

"The reform does not mandate two rest days per week. [...] create the conditions under which a four-day working week becomes practically achievable for the first time for a significant portion of the Mexican workforce."
Mexico is one of the few countries with only a 1-day weekend, along with:
- Colombia, Bolivia, Equatorial Guinea, Honduras, Hong Kong, North Korea, Pakistan, Philippines, Uganda, and India (Sundays);
- Djibouti (only 40h/w tho), Palestine, Iran, and Somalia (Fridays); and
- Nepal (only 42h/w tho) (Saturdays).
American Democracy incoming into Mexico, please stand by.
Mexico is amending it's constitution and the US can't even pass a budget to keep it's fucking bridges from collapsing. Meanwhile USA calls Mexico a failed state lol.
You mean pass a bill to borrow more money, to keep the bridges from collapsing.
You mean pass a bill to fund genocide with bridge money.
Those are usually earmarked on the back of "save the children" bills

Anybody upset about this needs to be upset with their employer. If you need to work over 12 hours a day everyday you're being severely underpaid. Saying this as a guy that used to do it to survive. My boss would praise me and tell people everyone needed to be more like me while knowing damn well why I was doing what I was doing. Tried to be the empathetic hand while completely exploiting me.

No wonder the CIA is fucking with them.
The billionaires are freaking out
Mi español es muy limitado, but I'm ready to go.
She needs to reform the US, next.
Honestly, companies have legitimately taken advantage of productivity gains from technology over the last 30+years. We get more done individually now than we ever have before, so companies save millions on effectively having less staff, that're also paid less due to sharp rises of inflation & CoL.
We should be down to 24 hours a week IMO, because I myself piss away about half my week anyway trying to come up with shit to do! I know others are in similar boats.
I own a company, self employed and I set up my business to only need to do 20 billable hours a week. That covers my wage and insurance costs for myself. Obviously at that I'm not making profit as a business but as an employee I am making a good living
It really opened my eyes to how much businesses fuck their employees and how much value i created for the 13 years i worked for others.
I think we should have a law that employees at a company have a right to a share of % of the profits.
Would help incentives workers, too. You're gonna work harder if you know your efforts actually pay off.
even better: the workers should own the company. including its profits as well as its decisions.

This answers the question I had, about what happens if a worker does in fact work longer than that.
Employees can work overtime during the workweek, but no more than 12 hours total, with a maximum of four hours on any given day and no more than four overtime days per week.
I wonder what the rules are around having a second job?
In most countries a second job is just not really allowed without your primary employer's approval. Which they are very unlikely to give. It's more a US thing for people who have problems making ends meet.
It depends on the nature of the job.
If you are a educated professional, then companies get pissy about how your second job might interfere with your primary work and erode some competitive advantage.
If you are working hours in a fast food place, they don't give a shit unless you fail to cover your shifts and never are available to pick up a shift for someone who can't cover theirs.
Many countries, sure. It would not be true for most countries. Not to mention freelance work, consulting gigs, or general self employment on the side.
How common it is may be different than whether or not it is allowed.
The rules are as long as the schedules don't overlap, you can get as many jobs as you like, really. The overtime thing is per job, not in total.
There probably aren't any, but it would likely show up in your performance.
If you and your team mates all work 40 hours a week, but one of them spends an additional 20 hours at some other job you would see it in their performance.
Pretty soon, Mexico will pay for the wall, to keep illegal Americans out.
4D chess!
