Amid the new morality: “whiteness.”
We’re being told it’s something to be stamped out.

If I had to guess, I’d say not unity.

With parts of the Southeastern U.S. still recovering from a pipeline hack that resulted in fuel shortages, a North Carolina school district is reverting to remote learning on Friday due to concerns staff and students don’t have enough gas to get to class. Due to the impact of the gas shortage on staffing availability and student transportation, Friday, May 14 will be a remote learning day for all students, the Wake County Public School System said on its website Thursday.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – The U.S. Department of Labor reported last week that nationwide unemployment has now hit the lowest point since the COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020. Around 498,000 Americans filed unemployment claims in the last week of April, down by 92,000 from the previous week. North Carolina saw new claims drop by about 3,440 in the same period.
But that doesn’t mean the pandemic recession is over. North Carolina is still tens of thousands of jobs short of where the state was in March 2020.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ newly released April jobs report shows a significant decline in hiring. According to the report, U.S. businesses added 266,000 new jobs in April, a notable drop from March’s revised total of 770,000. April’s unemployment rate remains at 6.1%, a tiny change from 6% in March.
