2022 Was Bad For Most Of Us & 2023 Will Be More Of The Same
Jump from year 2022 to 2023
A New year brings with it many new years resolutions, most of which, will be broken within the 1st week. Also, it brings a sense of optimism that the new year will be better than the previous one. While that is plausible for some, for the vast majority of us, this upcoming year is going to be hell. Throughout 2022, most of us saw our hope and dreams eradicate. Some of us saw our homes lost, others saw our jobs lost, and some saw a combination of both simultaneously.
2022 Was Dark For Most People
People like Patrick Bet David(whom I have admiration for) try to sell you “the future looks bright” hats. The issue is that they conflate their own futures’ brightness with everyday peoples’ futures. The truth is, the future looks grim and dark for most of us. In 2022, I graduated my last year of undergrad, haven’t found a job since. In 2022, we watched the price of everyday goods and services skyrocket to unprecedented levels. Most of us were already struggling to afford them. Right before the year ended, we saw companies start announcing a RIF(reduction in force). Some let go of as much as 60% of overall employees. Furthermore, the mass firings are only projected to continue in 2023.
We even had people like Jeff Bezos, who’s notorious for not giving a shit about society, cautioning people to save their money because we’re “about to enter some dark times”. The funniest part of that being the words “about to”. Most of us have been living in dark times for a while. At the very least since 2020. You mean to me that things are about to get even worse than they already are? I mean, what’s next, is the sky literally gonna start falling? Actually, that wouldn’t shock me too much with the amount of natural disasters that have been occurring lately. That said people, I don’t mean to be the pessimist, but, “reality is often disappointing”. Many people would rather just feed a false one, and I think that’s doing you a disservice. Stay safe and stay well, peace!
