Well, that was a year, wasn’t it?
2020 was the perfect exclamation point tp the end of the Trump presidency. In all fairness, he probably would have lost this election anyway, but his lies, mismanagement, magical thinking, ignorance, finger-pointing, utter lawlessness and shocking incompetence told us all that we needed to know about this business genius, who knows less about the management of a supply chain than my dogs know about the inner workings of a wristwatch.
More importantly, this year showed us, in stark relief, what we need to understand about ourselves. A pandemic that should have brought us together only further divided us. The wearing of a piece of cloth over one’s face to protect fellow citizens from an explosively contagious and dangerous disease became a political statement. As of this writing, we have lost 350.000 Americans to this virus. In ten months. In WWII, we lost 407,000 Americans in combat. In four years.
