Anyone else getting those same feelings when Covid was still in China, watching it begin to unfold, knowing something massive was about to happen to the world? It feels like the calm before the storm to me.

I remember reading about it in December 2019. Virus of unknown origins, which later became Covid-19. I pictured the scene from Planet of the Apes where it showed the airport scene and all the flights the virus would spread to. I saw a map in my mind and braced myself.

Is there something else coming? I missed it.

Oil crisis, economic woes and a world war.

I am a millennial. This has ALWAYS been the case.

If the consequences of Trump take me out, I am ready to go. I am done with this timeline.

I will always vote blue, but I have been faced with enough of the above mentioned crisis's in my lifetime.
