At the heart of this event is a bold question:
๐‘ฏ๐’๐’˜ ๐’„๐’‚๐’ ๐’˜๐’† ๐’Ž๐’๐’—๐’† ๐’‡๐’“๐’๐’Ž ๐’‘๐’๐’๐’Š๐’„๐’š ๐’Š๐’๐’•๐’†๐’๐’• ๐’•๐’ ๐’“๐’†๐’‚๐’-๐’˜๐’๐’“๐’๐’… ๐’‚๐’„๐’„๐’†๐’”๐’” ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’‚๐’ˆ๐’†๐’๐’„๐’š ๐’‡๐’๐’“ ๐’˜๐’๐’Ž๐’†๐’ ๐’๐’ ๐’ƒ๐’–๐’”๐’†๐’”?
