A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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 10/19
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.

Adani and the other defendants allegedly paid more than $250 million in bribes to Indian government officials to obtain “lucrative solar energy supply contracts with the Indian government.”
Bruh they did this in Pakistan a decade ago and it was probably the smaller of the crimes committed by the political mafia lol (of which practically no one served any meaningful time in jail).
Almost like the only way to get that much money isn’t by working hard but by cheating others out of it. Man if only we had a machine to take care of things like this. I know the French do
"Billionaire" and "fraud" go together like "sky" and "blue".
Modi isn't going to like this. India-China rapprochement probably incoming.
He'll be nominated for Secretary of the Treasury soon
So 20 min community service? That's the standard now.
Forcing people convicted of financial crimes to do community service is a great idea. But like months or years of it. Maybe they'd learn something.
Enough community service hours to cover the amount the stole. Paid at minimum wage, of course.
Sounds like a good way to get the minimum wage to be $50,000 an hour
I don't see the problem here
What kind of world are we living in where a guy can’t cheat and extort his way to unimaginable riches and amass enough wealth to capture governments , Can’t live freely without persecution?
His one flaw is he forgot to be white.
I was looking for this comment. Thanks.
Bahahaha, you think he's going to have any consequences.
There are no good billionaires.
Ladies and gentlemen, we Gautam
