Finally, the scales are tipping in the right direction. And while we're on the subject, can you go ahead and stop using "crappy" to imply any sort of negative connotation? Crappie are beautiful, vivacious, and gregarious fish who have fascinating behaviors and are important members of their native aquatic ecosystem. That they also taste delicious, well, maybe that's a different discussion for another time when we're not talking about how there's nothing crappy about crappies. If anything, it should be a tremendous compliment to have a crappy day or make a crappy meatloaf or watch a crappy movie.

the scales are tipping

Please refrain from using the word "scales", it's cultural appropriation of bony fish. Instead, use phrasing like the tables are turning

We're all bony fish on this blessed day.

Could you stop implying that tables like to turn? Tables take pride in being stationary load bearing fixtures.
