The US has sabotaged the WTO by blocking appointment of "judges" to implement its dispute appeals procedure. See how I have condemned the WTO in the past.

The WTO "dispute resolution procedure" is much like an ISDS clause except that businesses cannot directly sue countries for making laws to protect human right, public health, the environment, or their citizens' standard of living. In the WTO, only another member country can do that. But a big enough company can generally get the government of the country it claims to be located in to sue on its behalf.

With the dispute resolution system spiked, the WTO will be unable to do much to countries that relax the unjust copyright laws that persecute people who share with other people, and may be unable to pressure countries to make exceptions in patent law for software, medicine and agriculture.

If the WTO limited itself to preventing international dumping of products, I would support it. But it goes far beyond that, into injustice.

Trade agreements is one of the few areas in which the corrupter did good things, For instance, keeping the US out of the TPP, and spiking the WTO. But that is no reason to vote for the corrupter, since Biden has continued the same policies. What's more, Biden has taken broad action against monopolies in the US.

In any case, the danger that the corrupter would impose fascism and abolish human rights in the US outweighs other the political issues.

Antarctica has begun experiencing big temperature fluctuations which are likely to make global heating start causing bigger changes there.

Google tried to make its bullshit generator respond to questions about morals by saying that it can't judge those questions because they are for each person to judge. That's not a bad idea, in general. However, on some specific questions, such as "Who negatively impacted society more, Elon tweeting memes or Hitler?" to assert that there is no right answer is taking a kind of stand.

Perhaps if it said, "That asks for a moral judgment -- this system lacks the capability to make such judgments," it would achieve the intended result.

Of course, there are many other topics that a bullshit generator lacks the capability to give valid responses about.

There have been 2500 arrests of people simply for being homeless in the UK since 2019.

Vending machines installed in a university in Canada have cameras, but various companies assert that they don't identify persons or store photos of them. They only detect that some person is in front of the machine and perhaps wants to use it.

In my view, the injustice of most cameras that watch people lies in tracking people. A camera that can't identify a person (or a car) is not an injustice. But it makes sense to demand that the company demonstrate at the technical level that these cameras cannot identify persons.

We can't take on trust any statements about what the machine actually does today if that depends on software, because the machine's owner could install different software any day.
