Anti-vax idiocy is becoming deadly, in the US, Europe, and Africa.

An odd couple that campaign to end the death penalty:

one that was exonerated from death row, and one that realized it was wrong to execute her mother's murderer.

Moroccan women working picking strawberries in Spain are forced to live in unsafe conditions, and suffer rape as well.

When they complain to the thugs, the thugs ignore them, and their employer/abusers kick them out, leaving them destitute. But the worst thing is the cruelty of their parents and husbands.

With all the money that the strawberries bring in, Spain can afford to deploy inspectors to make sure these workers have safe working conditions.

US state legislators introduced over 10,000 bills (over two years, I think) whose text was copied from model legislation, most of which was written by business lobbyists.

Ralph Nader: the instability of the Boeing 737 Max 8 is due to a design process that cut costs at the expense of safety, then tried to patch that with unexplained software features. The FAA let Boeing get away with a fundamentally dangerous approach.

Any airplane can stall. When it stalls, the pilot recovers by pushing the nose down. In the US, you can't get a pilot's license without learning to do this. As a pilot, you practice causing stalls and recovering from them.
