And a tragedy at that (not the strip, Dilbert is great, but the truth of it.)

Things don't change just because the calendar flips a page.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Why does the calendar have anything to do with it?

Because you don’t get 2021 vision

Yes Slacker007, I read that. It's 2.5 months still to cross 2020 and thus might be too early - it is for me. (again, depends on person to person: tomorrow is also future and so is 2022)

Personally, I'd be happy if the last 4 years were irrevocably erased from the temporal stream.

I'd be happy if the last 106 years were erased. Perhaps the second time round, the Europeans power might use the brains God supposedly gave some of them, and avoid both World Wars.

Quite so!

With all that's going on, it's only going to get worse.
Maybe ten or twenty years from now, 2020 will be "the good old days."

I don't think crying and shitting your pants counts as good old days.
The boob thing sounds good until you remember who they were from

When you're a few months old, there's nothing wrong with any of those activities.

I know, but you wouldn't want to go back to that time either (or so I hope) 
Actually, there are men who do, it's a fetish thing.
Not with their actual moms though, that would be an Oedipus thing

Don't be too optimistic. Depending on how the future turns out, we may find ourselves looking back on 2020 with nostalgic pleasure. 
You heard it here first:
- The alien invasion of 2021.
- The worldwide volcanic episode that began in 2021.
- The great EMP reset.
- The neutrino event.
In no particular order.

The neutrino event? How about the rogue neutron star event?
|
|
|
|
|
That too.
I just felt that this[^] was always deeply suspicious.

Interesting read, thanks.
