I don’t know why people always make 2020 sound so horrible. It was great!! I was traveling all year. Everything was cheap; gas cars, rentals, tourist traps, everything.

Traffic was clear and low, restaurants weren’t crowded. I also made a ton of money that year.

It was amazing and I think people speak too negatively of it. It was the best year in the last five years for everything I just named and it was a good start of the decade.

Also I AM BEING SUPER SERIOUS. Only a few people I had this conversation with in person understands the epicness of 2020, the rest make it seem so drab and I don’t know why they had such a negative outlook on it.

    2020 started off just like any normal year and then BAM, global pandemic. It came with some novelty. The Democratic primaries were wild but at least Trump got voted out of office. So long as you didn’t lose your job or a loved one it was a bit of a shake up and brought people together though commiseration.

    2021 the novelty of the global pandemic had worn off. Holy shit they tried to coup the government, good thing they’re morons. The vaccine became available. The Olympics happened a year late. Kinda boring after 2020 but we were also still dealing with the annoying aftermath like washing our groceries.

    2022 Russia invaded Ukraine and people rightly felt outraged by it. Midterms weren’t as bad as they could have been but the Republicans still took the house. Also, we entered a recession and people were getting laid off left and right.

    2023 layoffs and recession still happening. Inflation too despite the economy starting to pick back up. Hamas attacked Israel which gave Israel an excuse to start genociding Palestine and people were rightly outraged.

    2024 Israel is still genociding Palestine and didn’t Biden say he was only going to be a one term president? Why isn’t he bowing out? Why isn’t anybody challenging him? Oh God, he’s going to debate Trump? Holy hell that was bad… Oh NOW you’re dropping out?? I guess we have no choice but to go with Kamala. At least she picked Tim Walz, he’s relatable. Wait, why are you campaigning with Liz Cheney? Oh no… Nonono. We know better than this, come on! … Fuck.

    2025 Yep. It’s pretty much as bad as we expected it would be…
