Ok, a bit about me. I work on utilities and transport, to empower and support consumers - particularly through the energy transition. Keen to follow those in energy, water and transportation, town planning, climate action & sustainability. Isn’t it lovely not seeing an advert every 10 seconds :-)

Back in the 1980s, researchers noticed a population of orcas had begun swimming around with dead fish on their heads, and now it appears that the craze is back.

Orcas start wearing dead salmon hats again after ditching the trend for 37 years
Orcas off the coast of Washington State are balancing dead fish on their heads like it's the 1980s, but researchers still aren't sure why they do it.

The lowest-income households have had the least income growth over the last 20 years.
While the mid-1990s to mid-2000s saw strong income growth across the distribution, income growth has stagnated since then.
