Although a similar program was previously in place, there was little change as the rating system was absolute, resulting in no workers receiving failing scores. The new system implements quotas for scores, as well as new conditions for demotions and dismissals. Unionized workers criticize the plan for the possibility of it being corrupted by eval!uators with personal agendas. However, a recent survey indicated that 64% of the nation supports the program.

Although the disastrous implications for its environment are well-known, the opportunities for profit may not be as obvious. It is estimated by the U.S. Geographical Survey that up to 25% of the world’s undiscovered oil and gas stores lie in the Arctic. In the region, Canada and Denmark have both called dibs on Hans Island, a tiny and remote but high-demand rock lying 1100 km south of the North Pole. The dispute has lasted for over twenty years, with both nations hoisting flags on the island, and some Canadians even calling jokingly for a boycott of Danish pastries.
