Poland and Hungary vetoed the EU's Covid aid program to block a plan to require them to accept an independent judiciary.

On climate issues, Australia is the worst of the G20.

This does not surprise me; Australia's government has been run by outright planet-roasters for many years, and the official opposition is not much better. Most Australians have allowed themselves to be bamboozled by the short-term issues of "jobs" and "the economy", and ignored their long-term survival.

The cause seems to be the power of a planet-roaster media baron, Murdoch.

I wonder if the great fires of last summer taught Australians anything.

Many people, not understanding why it is wrong, have responded to Covid-19 by buying more from Amazon.

We need laws to stop any company from mistreating workers and customers as Amazon does, but until we get them — as long as Amazon continues to do these things — we should not buy anything from Amazon.

When a friend want to get something for me, I say, "Please do not get it from Amazon!"
