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.

Seems like it depends heavily an where you were at the time.
Where I live, large parts of 2020 were in ridiculously total shutdown.
Officially you weren’t even allowed to go outside (we ignored that somewhat, though, despite the possible fines).
Horrifying year here.
Especially for the youth.So, yes, your opinion would actually be absolutely unpopular here! :-)

Yukianesa and I didn’t allow that shutdown to stop us
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…
Lol that wasn’t what my years were about. I think you watch too much TV and care too much about the gov.
Probably more fair to say it was the best year for you.
I imagine quite a few people had a great 2020 but it’s important to acknowledge that many many many others did not due to isolation, sickness, fear, losing their job and so on. It was a horrifically serious year for the rest of the world.
Was it though? USA likes to push that narrative and I know they had Australians in concentration camps but that was more of the corrupt governments torturing their citizens not the cov
Yes. Yes it was. Apparently it worked out well for you, which is good (for you). Many others weren’t that fortunate.
And for them I am sad. 🙏🏻 prayers and thoughts for the families
I’m Australian, and It’s up for argument about how necessary isolation was, but it definitely had a positive impact on transmission of the disease and covid deaths. I know for me, while I was not at high risk from covid, it helped people that I knew were immunocompromised. But the isolation had me in the worst depressive state I ever was in, combined with losing my job, 2020/2021 were some of the most terrifying and horrific parts of my life. I know a few people who died of covid too, so it wasn’t this casual sickness.
I’m glad you had a good time during it, I just think it’s an unpopular opinion describing it as some of the best years, because that’s dismissive of a huge amount of people who suffered hard.
Hmm fair enough about the deaths. But everything else about it made you stronger.
Nah not for me. It was nothing but a terrible time making me relive experiences I never should have experienced. If anything it made me weaker because I’m left with trauma now and am even more fearful of loneliness.
Fearful? Of what
so you didnt lose a family member and have to watch their funeral on a computer monitor, eh?
cheap gas though am I right? and you made that money, you got all that wonderful money.
No family members no. But I did run over a deer with one of my sport cars. I replaced it the next day but damn it was slightly slower
you’re hysterical. do you just enjoy people thinking you’re a piece of shit online? odd hobby in my opinion.
I just give answers and some reason people always mad. No matter what I say. Like everyone has different thoughts and opinions. Accept that
