2023 is almost making me miss 2020

Sort of missing the pandemic. Not the people dying part, and not really the masks; but I do miss social distancing, and the renewed emphasis on hand-washing and covering one’s mouth when they sneeze or cough. Most of all, I enjoyed that - for once in our wretched lives - the pace of life was slowed down for a little while. We will never be allowed such a respite ever again, even if there is another pandemic of some sort. All of that said, people in general changed for the worse, and we are only at the beginning of the fall-out …

The people of the United States of America are losing their humanity. I’ve been feeling this coming for years - as in, actual panic attacks brought on by these premonitions - and even I am shocked at the anger and vitriol Americans have for each other now. At this rate, I expect a full-on civil war to break out by, at the very latest, November 2024. Quite possibly by the end of this year. At least when we were kept apart from each other, the likelihood of violent conflict was lessened. So, yes, bring back social distancing. For good! - A.N.
