This is a very short article based on popular social media discourses I encounter every day. I am not going to make a judgement on them but just going to enlist them. These are multiple perspectives handpicked and aggregated.

  • On January 6th Insurrection and Aftermath.
  • The high inflation in the country has pushed the cost of living.
  • High Gas Prices Aftermath Russia-Ukraine War.
