Do you really want to know, Winslow?

2022 — what’s the worst that could happen?

We have to stop asking that question. The fates are taking it as a challenge.

Just remember that “2022” is pronounced “2020, too.”

But hopefully what we will finally get is that we will use the prosperity, recovery, economic gains and other achievements of the Biden recovery to reverse the 2020-21 course Trump set us on and continue to reduce unemployment, increase the gains in the capital and investment markets, increase wages, tame the inflation that resulted from the Trump pandemic, hold public, televised hearings on the Trump treasonous attempt to overthrow the government last January 6, hold televised hearings for the worst traitors in the Trump attempted coup and finally set our course right for the rest of the decade.

Of course, if TrumpubliQans take over the House or Senate (or both) in this year’s midterms, it will just be more of the same and an evil omen for the decade ahead.

Perhaps we can ask what’s the best that could happen, and work towards that. Maybe work together to repair the damage and to mitigate the suffering.

Landing on that cactus would be pretty bad.

The worse that could happen is nothing.

2022: more good than bad, I think.

I’m surprised you didn’t blame George Bush.

Oh, Auntie Em! They’re frolicking! They’re frolicking!

2022: Hold my beer!
