My 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.

Top economists call for action on runaway global inequality

theguardian.com/inequality/202

“We know that high inequality undermines all our social and environmental goals. It corrodes our politics, destroys trust, hamstrings our collective economic prosperity and weakens multilateralism. We also know that without a sharp reduction in inequality, the twin goals of ending poverty and preventing climate breakdown will be in clear conflict.”

“The richest 10% of the global population currently takes 52% of global income, whereas the poorest half of the population earns 8.5% of it. Billions of people face the terrible hardship of high and rising food prices and hunger, whilst the number of billionaires has doubled in the last decade.”

Our future self: The stranger we are unable to imagine, and yet will come to be

'change is possible'

We humans have a natural tendency to imagine what our futures will be like, and our imaginings about the future are very often characterized by optimism. We tend to think the lives our future selves will have as successful, happy, and fulfilled. But...
