People who deserve bouquets and those who should get barbs

The year of our Lord 2023 has ended. With its demise, comes the opportunity to issue our annual bouquets to those whose feats we admired and throw barbs to those that were a disappointment.

My very first bouquet goes to the Hustlers. It's been a tough year for all, but more so the hustlers. With no reliable incomes, the increased cost of living and the enhanced taxes have hit this lot hard. I have therefore been pleasantly surprised in my sojourns around the country, to watch these folk refuse to surrender and make the best of a bad economic situation.
