Censorship in Russia

dimanche 2 avril 2017 à 02:00

Censorship in Russia is vague, with no clear rules, so artists generally self-censor.

El Salvador banned mining

dimanche 2 avril 2017 à 02:00

EL Salvador has banned mining for metals.

In El Salvador it is probably unfeasible to regulate mining adequately to protect the environment. Even the US doesn't seem to be able to do it.

Global heating

dimanche 2 avril 2017 à 02:00

Global heating has been relegated to a low profile in Europe's politics.

Trump's deportation campaign

dimanche 2 avril 2017 à 02:00

The troll's deportation campaign has terrified immigrants, so that they no longer dare complain when employers cheat them.

Perhaps that is the substantive motive for the crackdown: to facilitate exploitation of workers.

Noel Conway

dimanche 2 avril 2017 à 02:00

Noel Conway, dying slowly from motor neurone disease, may have to commit suicide long before it is time, so that the UK will not imprison his family for helping him.

I wonder if there is a technical solution in his case. If he hooks up, while still able, a machine that will inject him with a lethal dose if three days go by without his pushing a certain button, he will be able to commit delayed suicide, but no one else will have triggered it.

Perhaps his friends would be punished for helping him construct it. There seems to be no limit to how far "authorities" will go in imposing the torture that they have legislated.
