Global News
What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Wow! I highly recommend taking the time to read this one. It just keeps giving and giving the further you read. Unbelievable.
Oh man, I want to drop spoilers so bad, lol. Just read.
Damn I’m glad you said that. I wasn’t really interested in reading about people who would do this, but I went back, and what a total shitshow. Norovirus not required.
edit: also regarding the new company helping these people in need
Where’s that tiny violin?
I can echo this 😂🤣 actually a decent article, with lots of info. And it's a rollercoaster, those poor idiots that bought tickets...
The customers haver marked them selfs as idiots and have a whole fleet of fske cruise lines trying to sell them more voyages. It's the exact same as all the crypto scams of the past 10 years.
The scammed can be idiots too, and often are.
And the whole situation still has so much more to give as well.
It's a news article, not a tv show. There's nothing to "spoil" lol.
I disagree. What I was going to say would mess up the reading adventure of this article. It was so good I read it aloud to my wife. lol
I won't open any links unless someone let's me know what it's about in the comments, and it seems like something worth reading.
In other words, no "spoilers", no read.
