Genetic engineering has been used to make pigs that are immune to a virus that is very common in farms.

I have a suspicion that factory farms are responsible for the prevalence of this virus.

I don't see any biological harm or danger in this genetic modification. It appears to have no effect, other than the pigs do not get sick and have healthier immune systems. That is all to the good.

However, the modification is likely to spread patent pollution that would harm farmers' rights in countries that permit patents on genes to apply to farming of animals.

Mossack Fonseca, which supported tax-dodging, did not even know the names of most of its clients.

Making offshore companies identify their owners will help reduce tax-dodging, but individual countries can implement a complete solution by ending the deductibility of payments to companies that don't entirely satisfy certain requirements.

That is, they can do this unless business-supremacy treaties get in the way. If so, they should pull out of those treaties, which do harm in many ways.

Australia's right-wing government is shifting money to the rich by cutting taxes on business. It is pretending that this will "trickle down", but we know that is bullshit, just as it was when Reagan said it.

The US government is deporting refugee parents without their children, and they don't have a way to get their children back.
