TIME POY

How depressing that the final 10 in contention for Person of the Year has 5 deplorable people.
Trump, Elon, Zuckerberg, Bibi and Rogan (yes, Joe Rogan).

One more ego stroke trophy for one of them.

The remaining 5 candidates are Kamala, Claudia Sheinbaum, Princess Kate, Yulia Navalnaya and Jerome Powell

As I said, how depressing. I know, I know, Hitler was once Man of the Year, but nevertheless...sad.

To me, none of them deserve it. From a sentimental standpoint however, I'd say Princess Kate because of her health battle.

back in 2007. That was the same year that An Inconvenient Truth was released. Many thought it should have been Al Gore that year but according to insiders, the powers that be at Time were determined to name anyone but Al Gore.
