News to be grateful about via /r/gratitude

Normally I keep the news out of my gratitude list, but this is too good not to share.

I'm grateful that my country is in the best shape it’s been in since at least 2000.

According to Heather Cox Richardson, "No U.S. troops are fighting in foreign wars, murders have plummeted, deaths from drug overdoses have dropped sharply, undocumented immigration is below where it was when Trump left office, stocks have just had their best two years since the last century. The economy is growing, real wages are rising, inflation has fallen to close to its normal range, unemployment is at near-historic lows, and energy production is at historic highs. The economy has added more than 700,000 manufacturing jobs among the 16 million created since 2020."

Now that's something to be grateful about.
