This has the bonus side effect of being able to ignore any news that happened since 2023 to gaslight yourself into thinking that we're not all living in a hellscape of a world
I think the news in 2022 was still pretty hellish. I'm going to go with (before:2013). Some hell still, but a naively optimistic hell
Probably more poverty/starvation but a fraction of the climate change?
way fewer active genocides and all of them trying to fly under the radar.
You'd need to go back to pre 2012 for that
Little further than that. Further... Keep going until you see fish legs.
Before 2007 gets one well before the 2007 financial collapse.

No the news from 2024 is an improvement over the news from 2023. Moderately anyway
