I heard that cats don't like to drink water that's kept near their food. Maybe that's it?

Fun fact: A stable company may appear to be growing by ~3% a year if you don't account for inflation.

I guess that's a silver lining because then investors don't see a stable company as stagnating.

Occupy Wall Street was 2011.

I took Google Ngrams with some various terms around social justice, set smoothing to 0, and sorted the outcomes. Feel free to verify; I'm no expert.

Tested terms (alphabetical order): Bigot, Bisexual, Black, Cisgender, Civil Rights, Critical Race Theory, Discrimination, Diversity, Empowerment, Equality, Equity, Gay, Gentrification, Hate Speech, Heterosexual, Homosexual, HRT, Human Rights, Identity Politics, Inclusive, Inequality, Intersectionality, Lesbian, LGBT, Liberation, Marginalize, Microaggression, Oppression, Privilege, Racism, Representation, Social Justice, Solidarity, Systemic, Transgender

I certainly didn't sort them perfectly. I don't want to tell you what to think, but I will say that I was pretty sure of this theory before running this test, and though I feel the evidence supports it, it wasn't as strong as I thought.

It's not a millenia-long game of whisper down the lane. We have access to the original text. And we still cross-reference different translations to be sure.
