   USA Today has an article from 2022 on the most common birthdays in the USA. Fascinatingly, nine of the top ten most common dates for birthdays fall in September. It’s largely attributed to the holiday season and people taking time off from work during that season.

    Yes the 2020 Biden/Harris material would be very common. But the very short-lived 2024 campaign material – to draw comparisons from other fields – reminds me of the flaming version of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Street Survivors” album which was pulled when the band’s plane crashed, or the small number of “Revenge of the Jedi” teaser posters which made it to the public before the movie was retitled “Return of the Jedi”.
