What do they get out of it? A byline and all the glory (or hate mail). But today’s newsletter is just for the [editorial board](, which crafts Opinion’s unsigned editorials. Here’s a sampling of some of the board’s recent work; for more, [click here](. - [UBS Saved Credit Suisse. Now for the Bad News](: “Faced with the failure of Credit Suisse, officials gave UBS what it wanted and created an even bigger bank with explicit state guarantees. This reinforces the perception that governments will always stand behind systemically important banks — an expectation that encourages even more irresponsible behavior.” - [SVB Took Risks. That Should Shock Nobody](: “The panic over the demise of SVB Financial Group, parent company of California-based Silicon Valley Bank, appears to reflect a widespread misunderstanding about what such institutions do.” - [The World Must Stand With Afghanistan’s Women and Girls](: “A little more than 18 months after the Taliban regained power in Kabul, they have effectively erased Afghan women and girls from public life — again. This appalling reality should weigh heavily on US President Joe Biden.” - [The Economic War Against Putin Has Only Just Begun](: “The democratic world is still showing impressive resolve in pushing back against Putin’s assault on Ukraine. Patient, unflinching use of its greatest strategic advantage — economic power — remains necessary to defeat him.” - [Biden’s Immigration Reforms Deserve a Chance to Work](: “The underlying issues driving the migration crisis — namely, the movement of large numbers of people from across the Western hemisphere seeking to enter the US — won’t be solved overnight. But the administration’s new approach is a step toward a more rational, orderly system.” - [Washington Must Act to Fight Fentanyl Deaths](: “One first step should be uncontroversial: preventing needless deaths. In particular, Congress should prioritize making naloxone, a lifesaving medication that can reverse an overdose, more widely available.” - [No, China Isn’t Gobbling Up America’s Farms](: “Amid escalating suspicions about China, officials across the US are seeking to block foreigners from purchasing tracts of farmland, for fear they might be used for espionage or to threaten America’s food supply. … The US has enough real threats to worry about without concocting new ones.” - [Tell Parents the Truth About Learning Loss](: “America’s schoolchildren face a daunting task to recover what they’ve lost. The least schools can do is tell the truth about how far they have to go.” Notes: To contact the author of this newsletter, email bsample1@bloomberg.net.
