“But Iceland is the only debt-ridden
nation that has had an answer to the
question: why did the banks fail? This
impertinent question was answered
quite thoroughly in a 2,600 page report
published in April 2010 by the Special
Investigative Commission (SIC) set up
by Al#ingi, the Icelandic Parliament.”
Sigrún Davi!sdóttir takes a trip down
memory lane to the kreppa and its aftermath
“Most dramatically a French couple
had to flee their rental car after flying
pebbles broke their side windows,
leaving them exposed to the full force
of windassholery. In pictures, their car
looks like it has been sanded down.”
Sandstorms are sweeping the nation!
Cue the Darude song
“When third party negotiators are
involved, they generally ask for
higher salaries for men than they do
for women. I feel this is the root of
this problem, that women’s work is
evaluated as being worth less than
men’s work.”
Getting to the root of Iceland’s gendered
wage gap year.
“With the continued melting of glaciers
due to climate change, one might be
inclined to see the boat as a metaphor for
the huge meltdown, for the heavy burden
we all have to carry, but that is of course
just one possible interpretation.”
Two dudes carried a boat across the Alps
