@ScottSoCal definitely.

Really all I've been talking about here is access to the ECONOMIC status quo, because we're talking about the movement of "the majority" of a generation along political axes.

Lack of access to the social status quo (i.e. equality in all its guises) has been a driver away from conservatism for a lot longer. For those who experience it, and those who witness it.

The two often go hand in hand, but not always.

Mika: In 2022, "Women at home and abroad have fought to save democracy and their own fundamental freedoms. From the ballot box, to the streets of Iran, to the battlefields in Ukraine, make no mistake, women were at the front lines of it all."

And grateful to everyone who is willing to be an organ donor!

The story of Greta Thunberg owning Andrew Tate and leading to his arrest is one of the most epic things of 2022. I enjoyed seeing that greedy kid's (SBF) fraudulent crypto fortune collapse on him, but this was much more enjoyable by several orders of magnitude.

It sure seems that a lot of MAGAs and Republicans get busted for human trafficking.
