*Commercial creditors 'must sign up to global debt deal' — or forgo Covid-19 help.*

I agree — except that it seems wrong to give any state "help" to giant investment companies. Their stockholders often claim that they deserve their high profits because they are risking high losses, yet whenever it looks like such a loss is going to occur, they plead "it's not our fault, so save us from this loss."

By the same logic, every time they get a big gain, it's not their credit, so they should hand it over to the public treasury.

The bully says he will cut off US support for the WHO.

*[The bully's] decision to cut WHO funding is an act of international vandalism.*

*What does the WHO do, and why has [the bully] stopped supporting it?*

The precipitous decline in excessive clothing purchases has led to cancellation of orders. Millions of people will be faced with unemployment.

Last year we had a couple of long-term concerns about world garment production.

• The people who will soon be unemployed were working for very low pay, in conditions that could kill them and would certainly injure them.
• The high rate of production of clothing for people who already had far more clothing than they needed was using up world resources and damaging the environment.

*'I didn't buy new clothes for a year and it was the best thing to happen to my wardrobe'.*

A UK mayor said that Boris Johnson "deserves" to have Covid-19.

I don't think anyone "deserves" to have Covid-19, or any other disease. I don't think anyone "deserves" to die. We all die, but death is always an unjust fate.

However, since Johnson courted infection as a callous, dishonest political stunt, he is morally responsible the consequences, including getting infected himself, and the thousands of others who will catch Covid-19 as a result of his "leadership", some of whom will die of it. And that was only one of his many acts of contempt for truth and justice.

Perhaps he deserves to be punished for these acts, but not punished with death. The death penalty is an injustice and should never be inflicted on anyone. What Johnson deserves is for Britons to tell him they won't give him another chance to endanger people, then take away his political power. But this will not happen if they erase their memories of his wrongs.

When Britons voted for Johnson and other Tories, they brought bad government and its consequent suffering on themselves (and other Britons too). But that does not mean they deserve bad government and its consequent suffering. Nobody deserves that. What they deserve is to (1) change their minds and (2) undo their bad decision.
