Will things be different now that the dread of the year 2020 is behind us all?
What I mean is will things REALLY be different as the calendar changes over from December 31 to January 1? We all can make a difference in that happening.
I am optimistic as this blog enters into its 13th year that people can help make a real difference, but I'm not convinced by the powers that be in politics or in the news media that cover said politicians. You see, those folks and the occupation they have is driven solely by money and that will never change unless the people call for it to do so.
Meaning there needs to be a real shift in attitudes all over the country as well as the world.
Things always seem to stay the same and things don't really change at all. Like U2 sang about nearly 40 years ago in their song New Year's Day -- Nothing changes on New Year's Day . . .
Let's make it happen America.
We have a new President of the United States coming into power on January 20th and the narcissist we have had as POTUS for the last four years will begin a new life battling the legal folks who have him by the balls regarding his past finances and tax records. Let the games begin.
For one, I will be ignoring the folks who want to continue the insanity that took a mantra known as "MAGA" and perverted it into racism and hatred and now their time is up. Their fifteen minutes are over with and it is time to put them in the past.
The United States of America is moving onward and upward with or without these people. The best part is they don't quite realize it yet because they insist on living in the past and not moving forward and just trying to hold people back because they themselves are so miserable.
Not for me pal. Don't want any part of that nonsense.
As for the media, those folks and their directors and producers need to make a change for the betterment of everyone in the country. When the impeached former president is out of office in about 19 more days, do not (I repeat) DO NOT pay any attention to him whatsoever when the tweets start coming fast and furious to criticize the Joe Biden Administration. (You know that will be happening the second Biden removes his hand from the Bible after taking the oath of office.)
Social media and all the silly trends it produces will be another factor as to whether things might be different as 2021 gets rolling as well. People are creatures of habit and the monkey see, monkey do mentality isn't about to change. The silly videos will continue to churn out as people seek attention and the haters will continue to do their thing, but if people can resist that crap and look to make things different, then maybe (just maybe) things can really be different. But I am not holding my breath with that happening.
Not being negative, just keeping it real and being honest. Fact is, the country needs more action and less talk and/or tweeting and posting of silliness on social media. Be a doer folks, not a pretender.
So, here is to the new year and hopefully things can be different as the COVID-19 vaccines roll out and the Biden Administration takes the action in the coming months to speed things up with the distribution to everyone and stops the politicizing of it. I'm optimistic things can be better for everyone, but only if folks demand it. Hold the powers that be accountable.
Demand it. Make it happen. Don't just sit around hoping so, be a difference maker and hold people accountable.
Happy New Year!
Good advice!
