Rather than the "in memoriam" pages that'll be a part of your favourite super-hero comics in a couple of months, a greater tribute to creators who majorly contribute to the multi-million profits of huge corporations would be to ensure that they don't die in medical debt, dependent on GoFundMe pages.

In 2017, 72 people died in Grenfell fire due to faulty cladding. Despite an inquiry and publicly available evidence, no one has been charged. Profits take priority over lives. All part of a pattern where the state favours corporate interests.

Private equity in healthcare puts patients’ lives in danger, US studies show. Wage/Staff cuts, low investment, profiteering; higher deaths, medical complications, infections and readmissions. No healthcare improvement. Yet UK handing more of the NHS to PE. Healthcare must not be a profit centre.

Mother of autistic boy left with £10,000 debt after breaching DWP rules by £1.92 a week. The "cliff-edge” approach has inflicted cruelty on over 100,000 carers. Rules must change. Govts need to divert focus to tax dodgers, corporate crooks, the City.
