Bitcoin doubled in 2023 NEW
YORK (AP) — Bitcoin is having another moment. The world’s largest
cryptocurrency soared to almost $38,000 this week, marking its highest
point in nearly 18 months — and more than double the price seen at the
start of 2023.
Jamaican government to increase minimum wage by 44% Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness says his government plans to
increase the island’s minimum wage by 44% as the local economy rebounds.
The change will go into effect in June. People making the minimum wage
of $59 for a 40-hour workweek would instead earn $85.
Holness announced the plan Thursday evening during his budget
presentation in Parliament, to the cheers of government supporters. He
added that the increase is the biggest in 20 years.
The announcement came just days after the government increased teachers’
wages following a nearly weeklong protest that disrupted public
schools.
Jamaica’s economy was hit by the pandemic, the war in Ukraine and a drop
in tourism, but it has since recovered substantially, according to a
February report by the International Monetary Fund.
Annual inflation in Jamaica ranged as high as 11% over the past two
fiscal years but is projected to decline to about 5% in the coming
fiscal year starting next month, the report said.
A whale is found dead with more than 30 PLASTIC BAGS in its stomach Experts
say it's 'not surprising'. Experts estimate there are five trillion
pieces of plastic litter floating on the world’s oceans, discarded by a
throw-away society and killing countless animals a year. It has
been estimated that by 2050 there will be more plastic in the sea than
fish. An estimated 100 billion carrier bags are used every year
in Europe - with 8 billion ending up as litter. Read more
