Situational Analysis | Dec. 30, 2022
Happy Bacon Day! ð¥ What a great way to start a holiday weekend.

Be in the Know
What a year, amiright? Inflation, interest rate increases and crazy housing prices, but also strong consumer spending and low unemployment. An end to mandated mask-wearing, increased travel and some incredible travel snafus. Worst drought in 1200 years, but ending the year with an atmospheric river dumping moisture everywhere. Midterm elections say the GOP take the House but the Dems held on to Senate control. The divided Congress could work together - but probably won't. War came to Europe. Afghanistan continues to strip women of even the most basic rights, Iran kills people who support women, Nigeria's supposed "good-guys" are killing children and forcing abortions, while Ethiopian forces have been decimating the Tigray region. And - we also saw the first, breath-taking images from the James Webb telescope, the story of "America's most remarkable kid" right here in Utah and countless stories of volunteers making a difference at home and abroad.
For the last newsletter of the year, I thought a collection of round-up articles and photos of the year would be a good way to end. See you next year! (Also - what a lame joke. Sorry. Must be the grandma in me.)
