And you thought everything was going well.

Like everyone else three weeks ago I was pretty oblivious to the rising tensions on the world stage.

Where to start? Russia/Ukraine? Evergrande? NK lobbing missiles twice a week? China closing its borders off? China emplacing terminator robots on its border with India? AI emerging any day now and deciding humanity was a great experiment but its done with us now? Impending doom from a supply shortage because truckers have to quarantine after crossing the border? Turkey's fuel oil shortages? Stock market collapse? Etc Etc.
