Good morning, and welcome to Kid News! I'm Tori, today's Thursday, July 15th, 2021.

And we begin with NASA, issuing a warning about the Moon's next wobble. The Lunar Jiggle

is nothing new. It was first noted back in 1728, and simply describes how the movement of

the Moon around the Earth is not always a smooth one. Once the wobble begins, it takes

about 18.5 years to finish. For half that time, the change in gravitational pull makes the

tides lower, for the other half, it makes them higher, and therein lies the rub. Scientists

predict the next wobble will combine with rising sea levels, and sometime in the 2030s will

lead to quadruple, the normal number of floods in coastal communities. According to NASA,

all of the beaches in the U.S. will be impacted, except for those in the far reaches of Alaska.

It's safe to say BK got the picture. Fed up employees at a Burger King and Lincoln Nebraska

changed the sign outside their restaurant to read, we all quit. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The workers had complained of staff shortages, long hours, and a broken air conditioner that sent

indoor temps into the 90s. When their mass exodus and sign went viral, the company issued a statement

saying that their work experience is not in line with the brand's values, but the damage was done,

and the story put another spotlight on the hard work and low pay of flipping burgers. As for

the sign outside the restaurant, mere hours after management got wind of the prank, it was changed

to read, now hiring, flexible schedules. Keeneye viewers tuning in to next week's Olympics will

notice yet another very significant change in the summer's gains. In the past, athletes stepping

up to the metal podium would be met by officials who'd hang the harder and gold silver and bronze

metals around the necks of the winners. But just yesterday, the International Olympic Committee's

President announced, due to COVID, the victors will now take their metals off a tray and put

them on themselves. Also off the table at this year's metal presentations, handshakes, and hugs.
