Rules:

  1. Try to keep the political or Trump-related content to a mild torrent.
  2. Reliable sources only.
  3. Articles are good. Self-posts or blog posts by professionals or journalists are fine. Memes or random blogs, no.
  4. Post title must match the headline. Edits for clarity are fine.
  5. Don't be a jerk.
  6. No racism, no bigotry, no spam.
  7. Be productive.

Australia rounds to nearest 5c also. Digital remains the same exact to the cent.
