> A story of quite significance to our daily lives is not off topic here.
Well, the site guidelines[1] would disagree with you:
> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
Again, If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

- mjmsmith 10y agoThe Trump kakistocracy is nothing if not an interesting new phenomenon.
- dragonwriter 10y agoSure, and analysis of it might be on topic; garden variety political news stories about it, however, don't seem to be.
- dang 10y agoIt looks like you've been using HN primarily for political/ideological arguments. That's not what this site is for, so please stop using it that way.
- mjmsmith 10y agoI have avoided posting political/ideological arguments in topics that aren't about politics or ideology in the first place. But it's your site and your rules, so consider this account closed.
- smb06 10y ago"Most stories about politics" is not ALL stories about politics. These are exceptional times and exceptional stories that need everyone's attention.
