News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Wow, this feels like the twilight zone.
I am pretty sure I've heard this exact same argument before, more than once, but instead of Greenland being taken over by the U.S., first it was my own blue city being taken over by conservative leadership. Then, it was about federal takeovers of all blue U.S. cities and states. Now Greenland is supposed to view their own invasion and takeover by a war mongering hot mess (who can't even provide basic health care and housing for their own citizens) as a net positive? Are you fucking kidding me?
Basically it boils down to, "this is for your own good, and if you refuse to see that, you're just afraid of progress because you've been conditioned to fail." Is that right?
Louisiana's Comeback story
(BTW, We're still dead last in just about every one of those metrics they mention, and quality of life has taken such a dramatic nosedive over the past year that it would almost be funny if I wasn't living here.)
Anyway, the Louisiana Comeback campaign was created by State Policy Network (SPN) Louisiana affiliate, the Pelican Institute. SPN was founded by Heritage Foundation board member Thomas Roe with the goal of creating a network of think tanks across the U.S. to target state level policy by following the same strategy that allowed Heritage to hijack and dismantle many federal policies.
Basically, SPN creates the narrative and collects the "research" that is then passed out to members of ALEC, who then cite that research as evidence that justifies the whacky and unethical laws they create.

Good reddit-logic. Now take your upvotes.
My apologies, I guess I'm just "conditioned to fail."
Whew, that's an ignore.
Except you replied?
