Unless this last quarter is a complete reversal from the past three… most of us will be more than happy to see 2020 go.
Though, if you watched the first round of U.S. presidential debates the other day, you know that 2021 could be a lot worse if (insert your choice candidate) gets elected.
In fact, so will 2022. And 2023. And 2024. And every year after that. Unless (insert your choice candidate) gets elected, we’re all doomed!
Kidding aside, I do very much believe there’s a lot at stake this time around. (Then again, isn’t there always?) So we need to take it seriously. (Then again, shouldn’t we always?)
In the business world alone, we have stories like these to grapple with:
- CNN: “These Retailers Announced Hundreds of Store Closures in September”
- Fox: “Louisville Restaurant Owner Says Protests Coupled With Pandemic Have Been ‘Punch in the Gut”
- CBS: “Disney to Lay Off 28,000 Workers”
- CNN: “More Than Half of Businesses That Closed During the Pandemic Won’t Reopen”
I would say, “ouch!” except that would feel repetitive. It’s hard to count how many hits the economy has taken so far.
And anyone who says we don’t need to do something about it is setting us all up for more pain.
In the meantime though, as we wait to go to the polls next month, there's actually good news out there. Believe it or not.
Flying Cars? Bring It On!
Here’s a sampling from the good news front:
- Fox: “U.S. Private Employers Add 749,000 Jobs in September, Topping Expectations”
- CNN: “Paramedics Test Jet Suit That Can Fly Up Mountains”
- CBS: “Toyota-Backed Startup Has Flown – and Landed – a Flying Car”
- Fox: “MGM Says It Can Safely Host Conventions During COVID-19”
Now, on that last one, who knows if parties
