      In what sense is a screenshot with scribbles on it “world news?”

        To be fair the web site does a terrible job at presenting the information since it only gives you a couple of of datasets at a time, so the screenshot makes it easier to see the difference. Although I agree that having the link in the URL field and the image on the body would have been better, I guess.

          What would have been better is … anything honestly. Any kind of interpretation or findings. Or, if that’s asking too much, even a vague thesis statement.

          This is definitional low quality and the OP should be embarrassed by it.

        If you don’t understand how US national debt going up by a trillion in a month is not world news, don’t really know what else to tell you. I just love how you’re sealioning here trying to act like you have a perfectly valid point to make.

          I’ve made it perfectly clear what else you should be saying: literally anything. An interview? An article? A study? Is a screenshot truly the limit of what you can offer us in terms of world news?

          I also have a perfectly valid point, and I believe I’ve made it, but since it seems to escape you:

          Your submission quality is bad. Do better in the future.

            Your only point appears to be that you don’t seem to understand why this is significant. The fact that there is a lively discussion happening with people explaining the significance to you shows that the submission quality is just fine.

        It’s world news to people who know that when the US faces financial trouble some countries get carpet bombed and the rest of us get fucked over in other ways.

        None of us have just landed here from outer space. This information means more than just the numbers presented because people who read it know varying degrees of the context. You might, for example, although I wouldn’t understand the motivation, use this new data to re-interpret something that Vaush, if they speak about such topics, has said about political economy.
