Pretty sure that's exactly what those words will mean in 2 years. It'll only be for etymology purposes that anyone will remember the actual generations.

It plummeted enough to halt trading on election day, but then it recovered and shot up the day after.

Trump's been doing everything he can to juice the stock market, and as a PR move, it seems to be paying off for him, since every Republican who was arguing that "the government's lying about the numbers! They won't tell you the real unemployment figures! What about the participation rate?" has mysteriously vanished.

The layout and the position of the rower favors the left side being the front of the boat/ direction it's moving in, and I wouldn't put it past Lester to not know how a sail works. I think we're supposed to read that as Bernie looking backwards.

I get that it's hard when you don't want to make a single cartoon about the current president because there's nothing positive to attribute to him.

It's worth mentioning that the doggo is Dog from Footrot Flats, a newspaper strip from NZ that ran from 1976 to 1994. I only learned about it from reading the Comic Strip Megathread, but apparently in NZ and Oz it's so popular that it had a theme park, a musical and an animated feature film made for.

I mean, it would probably also be hard to find a peer reviewed economist whose opinion of Brexit was anything other than 'an unmitigated disaster for everyone, but especially the UK'.
But fascism is a big reason, for sure.

It's also worth noting that it is incredibly comprehensive as an introduction to New Zealand's self-image, very approachable as long as you're willing to look up a bit of old slang now and again, and the theme song from the film is unironically great
