I've been contemplating this for the past week. There is little doubt that 2020 sucked in so, so many ways. Very little positive (Trump losing) from 2020. However, in some ways, I see this year almost worse. We had the Insurrection on Jan. 6, which was a byproduct of a lot from 2020 and Trump, but it came to a head that day. We have vaccines that are proving effective, and yet we have a segment of society that is so dug in that it seems we will be playing a continual COVID loop with wave after wave of variants. Inflation, while I believe it to be short-lived, is squeezing people. Difficulty in finding employees. Difficulty in funding employment that meets financial needs. More gridlock and obstruction from Congress, and some legislators need to shut the hell up.
I won't lie, I'm starting to get more and more angry with the anti-vax folks. They live in a different reality than I do. I spent 2020 walking into a hospital virtually everyday, and the tension inside that building was palpable. I was sending volunteers out to vulnerable seniors to deliver meals, it weighed on me if we were responsible for someone getting COVID. We did all we could to manage risk, and we did a damn fine job. Hardest work of my life, and then to sit in a meeting a few weeks ago and someone asked me if we were planning an in-person event for the the fall, and my response was, "Yes, but the delta variant may change that." And to get sighs and eye rolls...2021 sucks ass.
I'm tired of people's apathy.
Rant over.
