How 2020 Messed up everything !
We all know the media, social media and people love bad news. Bad news sells said someone long time ago. But bad news should be limited to important things people need to know. Not every bad news needs to be brought up to cater to the distraction of humans to lose some part of their lives just for a few clicks or sponsorship points. That is the difference between a good business or life and a losers life in the long run. If you find something I write confusing, you are most welcome to ask for a clarification and keep things straight. But shoving your opinion on what you understood wrong and blow anything out of proportion is not going to work because I am here to clarify anyway.
