2020 never ended. There is no "normalcy" to return to.

I would argue that 2025 marks a new level of low, a new standard that other years will be compared to. So like instead of 2025 being 2020 part 6, 2026 will be 2025 part 2. Wow that's a depressing thought - i.e. I wish that we could go back to the carefree days of yore, back in ole 2020 (when the problems faced were thought to be temporary, as was the style at the time)!

"it's not the end of the world, but you can see it from here."

I like to imagine a roller coaster. Were always going to end up where you end up, but 2020 was like a curve let you peek ahead a bit. Now everyone has seen the giant clown asshole awaiting us and we're justifiably scrambling.
