> why is everyone so stressed bout everything these days?

Seriously? Ongoing civil strife driven by grifters claiming that an election was "stolen" while offering no proof? A global pandemic? Historic levels of attacks on women, minorities, and LGBTQ+ people? An economy that is suffering from serious inflation for the first time in decades, leading to insecure employment? Long term damage from suffering from COVID? Culture wars being drummed up to a fever pitch by the right?

A better question is "Why AREN'T people more stressed, upset, and snappish?"
