GOP rhetoric on energy production increasingly detached from reality. Domestic oil production is actually higher now, under Joe Biden, than when Donald Trump was in office. Republicans spent much of 2023 falsely telling the public that the Biden administration had dramatically curtailed production. via /r/economy

What is the impact of allowing billionaires to buy up our news sources then lay off workers? via /r/economy

What is the impact of allowing billionaires to buy up our news sources then lay off workers?

I can't really read or watch much quality news anymore myself. All require subscriptions, and we're going deeper and deeper into debt financing groceries now. I do however see many paywalled source headlines talking about mass layoffs and the latest round of mass layoffs seems to be with news sources all over the place. It had me wondering, what are the societal and economical impacts of billionaires curating the news in this fashion?

Edit: Social media isn't a great source either. There are literally brigades of employed propagandists in many forums now. At least for the while they've been very focused on steering political matters, but they will turn their aim on a dime to economics and other societal effects later, I'm sure.

Core PCE prices in the United States, excluding food and energy goods and services, rose by 2.9% compared to the previous year in December, marking the lowest rate since March 2021. This figure fell short of market expectations of 3% and represented a slowdown from the previous month’s 3.2% growth. via /r/economy
