This was 2,220,000 km² below the 1981-2010 average. Data available from https://nsidc.org/data/seaice_index.
King MobMy partner - who is a teacher - went back to work after the summer holiday.
Their management team told them at a staff meeting that they were providing free school meals for TEACHERS suffering hardship. And a hardship fund for TEACHERS who don't earn enough money to survive.
My partner thought it was a decent thing to do. It just made me angry.
There is something beyond wrong when professional workers like teachers are unable to survive on their salaries. The answer isn't papering over the cracks and pretending this is a normal state of affairs. It's happening to so many workers, not just teachers.
Something's got to give. It will.
