TMI 04/22/2022 – Avoiding the 2°C Threshold, Traditional Roles Hold Stop Women from Building Wealth, Dept. of Education Reworking Income-Driven Repayment Plans

It’s widely accepted that if we allow the globe to reach an average of 2°C warmer than pre-industrial levels, absolute chaos will be unleashed – we discuss how difficult it is looking like it will be to keep from hitting that threshold.

Studies are now showing how this dependency has kept women from building the wealth they need to be seen as equals financially. Finally, we go over how the US Department of Education is planning to re-work the highly flawed income-driven repayment system, so that once payments for student loans are restored, they don’t immediately put everyone back where they started.
