       | Striking that the major stories that occurred this year weren't
       | mentioned anywhere in any of the top voted comments, or where
       | mentioned in exactly the wrong way:
       | 
       | ordered by my subjective level of importance:
       | 
       | - Increased spread of covid variants right until the end of 2021
       | (along with prolonging of lockdown measures).
       | 
       | - Official recognition by the Fed that inflation is no longer
       | transitory
       | 
       | - State Capitol attack.
       | 
       | - Increased confrontation with Russia.
       | 
       | - Taliban taking over Afghanistan in a blink of an eye.
       | 
       | - Stock market smashing all time high after all time high.
       | 
       | - Evergrande collapse.
       | 
       | - Lira collapse
       | 
       | - The Great Resignation
       | 
       | - web3, nft and metaverse dominating tech discussion.

         | tbf some of these are quite contradictory no way anyone could
         | have predicted them and not look like a fool, which is a sign
         | of the crazy time we live in.
         | 
         | Evergrand and Lira collapsing with the markets barely reacting
         | for example.
