For John, BLUF: Like most elections, the vote in November 2020 will be important. Nothing to see here; just move along.
From According to Hoyt, by Author Sarah Hoyt, 12 August 2020.
Here is the lede plus seven: blockquote>So, who had “Atlantis rises” on their 2020 bingo card?
No, no. Sit. Don’t go scouring news sites. That I know of, it hasn’t happened yet. But would anyone really be surprised? How many of us have gotten used to shaking our heads and going “D*mn it, 2020.”
I mean there have been other years that had certain trends before 2016 was a stone cold killer, probably due to the fact that a lot of celebrities hit their terminus at around the same time. (Even the ones of different ages might have done the same drugs. Who knows?)
But 2020? We just don’t know what to expect next, and certain government agencies proclaiming things like machines originating in other worlds isn’t helping.
However, the truth is that most of us — if we’re honest — saw a lot of 2020 coming. Some of it was like a nightmare — I’ve been having a lot of what I call filthy nightmares (the kind you wake up from asking yourself what possessed you, perhaps literally — where you see the disaster coming, but you can do nothing to stop it.
I mean, we knew this would be an election year, so we knew things were going to go completely pants-on-head insane.
But I doubt many of us saw “entire country put under arrest for months over a virus that ultimately is perhaps as bad as a bad flu.”
The problem is this: We should have seen it coming. Failure of imagination. It is a problem, particularly when voting. We can't imagine how our elected official can go wrong.
