Big Pharma threats

mercredi 14 décembre 2022 à 07:47

How Big Pharma used threats against governments to defeat the proposed "patent waiver" for Covid-19 vaccines in the World Trade Organization.

The WTO is a business-supremacy treaty; its basic purpose is to give business more power over the world's governments. We need to eliminate most of that power by greatly weakening every business-supremacy treaty.

US armed coup

mercredi 14 décembre 2022 à 07:32

Homeless need toilets

4400 homeless people live. in the "skid row" of Los Angeles, and they have only 9 toilets to use at night.

The UN standard for refugee camps calls for far more than that.

UK nurses, strike

Remember Nazi genocide

mercredi 14 décembre 2022 à 05:47

The House of Commons will observe a minute of silence in remembrance of the Nazi genocide of Jews (and some others).

The threat of Nazism still exists ad is growing. I suggest that the House of Representatives adopt a similar annual practice, starting this month. It won't be easy for the Republicans that will control the House next year to reject this. They support Nazis but don't want to admit it.
