It does no such thing. One look at the graph says no. A bunch of smaller up-down gyrations within a larger framework of up-up-up. This is an "article" on your channel of " communication" with a headline designed to mislead. Headline reading and misinterpretation being one of the biggest flaws of our times. A flaw used to great effect by "communicators". Which is really too bad, Makes the journey 10 times harder than it has to be. With no indication the general public has learned a damn thing. Which means they will be making the very same mistakes all over again, starting just five minutes from now. Wow! WOW-WOW-WOW !!! That's the kind of early-morning insight which will fuel my cynicism and pessimism all day long. It makes me realize the enormity of the job I've taken on. And just how much trouble we are in. WOW-WOW-WOW indeed. MAYBE IT REALLY IS A LOST CAUSE! In which case we are getting exactly what we deserve and we'd better get used to it! Don't you agree?

And by using pre-packaged content you can always outperform someone like me, who composes their own material as they go along.

I still maintain that "merchant" means someone who buys and sells. Making your self chosen title mean someone who buys and sells words. A mercenary propagandist.
