British business barons are flocking to invest in the Labour Party.

*Covid's back, you say? As disabled and vulnerable people know all too well, it never went away.*

What happened, rather is that governments gave up trying to protect the public to cave to the people who preferred to pretend Covid was gone. This is the case in the US and Europe, with variations in details between countries.

In practical terms, hot weather tends to kill people when it reaches the point where humans must take conscious precautions to survive it.

That is well before the point of what I have called "fatal weather" which is where nothing short of air conditioning will suffice.

Weather deadly by that lower standard has been observed in various places in recent years.

Mexico could provide a place where US citizens in abortion-banning southern states could get abortions. The ironic result would be that the main group of people in those states who could not go to Mexico for an abortion would be the unauthorized immigrants. Republican racists would tear their hair out to see their own abortion bans speeding the "great replacement".

Imagine a campaign calling for Texas to allow non-citizens to get abortions also. "Way to go, Republicans — protect every possible anchor baby!"

Even better, US government could directly help the non-US-citizens get abortions. It could make an arrangement with Mexico to set up border abortion clinics on the Mexico side, which would be federal facilities so they would be lawful right away, and allow anyone to cross the border from the US directly into an abortion clinic and then return, regardless of passport or immigration status. However, only authorized personnel would be allowed to enter the clinic from Mexico.

To make sure there is no unfairness towards Mexicans, each of these transborder abortion clinics would be accompanied by another abortion clinic that serves people coming from Mexico.

The arrangement could also explicitly permit royalty-free importation of mifepristone and any other medicines purchased in these clinics.

What I don't know is whether it is possible to do this without getting the approval of the Senate, which might be blocked by overt and covert Republicans.
