China is censoring research publications about Covid-19. Apparently China's face is more important than people's lungs.

The Houthis in Yemen have sentenced journalists to death.

The US Postal Service is likely to collapse in a few months unless it gets direct government support, according to its head.

I wonder why the conman believes it would be profitable to make it collapse.

Modern-day slums, created by right-wing economic policies, are spreading Covid-19.

The "cramped" living conditions of the poor, in the US and the UK and some other countries, get their impetus from the general economic situation that draws large numbers to a few successful cities — but this turns into real hardship because of favor-the-wealthy government policies that don't build enough housing in those cities, combined with the right-wing squeeze-the-poor policies that squeeze some poor people onto the street.

Some people in the UK feel their lives have been ruined because assisted conception services have been shut down.

While I can appreciate the disappointment of those who wish to have children, I say we must not cater to it, because far worse things than being childless are coming. Having children nowadays (with or without medical assistance) places a large burden on the future. It reduces civilization's chances of survival, even as it adds more one person to suffer in civilization's coming crisis.

Rather than spending public money to help people make a child, we should tell them to consider adopting a child — to satisfy their yearning in a way that helps future humanity rather than burdening it.
