"Equal" pay day, Failing banks and Drilling for oil in Alaska
Ya'at'eeh my relatives. Today is Tuesday, March 14 and over My Second Cup of Coffee I will discuss the ever persistent pay gap between men and women in the US, the failing of Silicon Valley Bank and President Biden's approval of a massive oil drilling project in Alaska. I invite you to join me.
