2022

2022 was a common year starting on Saturday (Dominical Letter B). It is the 2022nd year of the Common Era (CE), the 22nd year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 3rd year of the 2020's decade.

2022 hosted many events that were cancelled in 2020 and 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the year saw the lifting of restrictions relating to it. This year was also known for the creation of Zippy Holdings LLC and PBLOG Group on February 20 and April 20, 2022 respectively due to the ATBW Antitrust Lawsuit.
