This strikes me as very inkeeping with the social predictions of #TheFourthTurning. Author #NeilHowe proposes that we are near the end of a "Crisis" phase, which should last another 6-10 years. At which point, some drastic event (war, pandemic, etc) will reset things and we will start the beginning of a new #FirstTurning, or a new "High" phase.

Personally, I can't wait for that to start.

Spotted on #sociology reddit: an "is regarded period" construction. The absence of "well" feels incredibly awkward to me, but apparently the version without "well" was not only more common in older literature but is still more common today (https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=is+well+regarded.%2Cis+regarded.&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-US-2019&smoothing=3).

(Also, I have no idea what the answer to this question is.)
