"'People are grumpy' after pandemic, 2020 election, inflation, vaccines debate: Columbia professor"

Where would we be without professors?

The headline is flagging a Yahoo Finance video but I think it is a stand-alone keeper.

And reminiscent of a couple other zeitgeist-y headlines:

World's Oldest Weather Report Found in Egypt: It Was Raining, People Were Crabby

Imagine That: Earliest Surviving Secular Song Is An English Guy Talking About The Weather
I grew up being told Sumer Is Icumen In was the earliest surviving but this one is a decade or two older, as the post points out.
Adios cuckoo, hello English guy griping* about the cold and wind....

And if I hear one more person say "It's so dark at (pick a [northern] latitude) 2:30 or 4:30 or 6:30..."

Grumpy? He doesn't know the half of it.
