The year 2019 seems so long ago that it’s hard to imagine what life must have been like back then. I sometimes think that maybe this is all just a bad dream and I’ll wake up one day to realize the past two-plus years didn’t really happen. Were we stuck in a Matrix movie since 2020? I mean, it happens. In movies. I never imagined that our leaders could create such distress, discord, disunity, and divisiveness in society in such a short time.
