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.”

Comments 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!

"the real reason Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic Bank didn’t get bailed out by the government earlier this year was because they supported decentralized cryptocurrency, which the government can’t control."

The banks didn't get bailed out but everyone was made whole. A rare case where the corporation got the death penalty but customers didn't see "socialize the failure and privatize the profits." This is a situation where the conservative is upset that the company wasn't propped up by socialism.

It's the narrative that's important here. Whatever happened would've been broadcasted as evil.
