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.

Important to know that 40.000 was the number given by the government that is, of course, trying to minimise the strike's adherence and Importance.
Other sources are talking about 600.000 in the Capital and 1.500.000
40.000 wouldn't have to even been able to fill the squares in front of the congress buildings and their surrounding streets; and the protesting columns went way beyond the three congress squares zone yesterday
Other sources are talking about 600.000 in the Capital and 1.500.000
I meant to say 1.500.000 all around the country.
General? Lasted literally less than 8 hours and only 0.4% of workers went into it. That's not general. Specially from a group that used to LITERALLY stop the country for days
Reports from the three main Argentinian union federations led by the General Confederation of Labour (CGT) say over 400,000 strikers took part in a demonstration in Buenos Aires alone.
The strike is historic as for first time in recent history the country’s three major union confederations were united in joint industrial action. The strike was also supported by the Union of Workers of the Popular Economy (UTEP) including street vendors, agricultural workers and others from the informal sector.

40000 for a general strike in Argentina is pretty much a complete failure, specially now that we have reasons to protest.
