    I am just waiting for America to finally get around to talking about our racism problem. Ax, please post more about your thoughts about racism, I think you could help.

    Education is extremely important.

        Even before opening this thread I presumed it’ll be the frontline workers or Fauci.

            The shortlist: https://time.com/5919489/time-person-of-the-year-shortlist-2020/

            • Trump
            • Biden
            • Frontline health care workers and Fauci
            • The movement for racial justice

            The "essential workers" have already won the reader poll, but TIME has not finalize their choice for the Person of the Year for 2020.

            Whom would you pick?

            Not sure if TIME ever considered a microorganism for Person of the Year, but I would have added SARS-CoV-2 to the list. There is nothing that shaped the year 2020 more than SARS-CoV-2.

            The virus didn't shape anything

            Mr. Trump's heroic reaction to it shaped fake news

            And the person of the year is the fake news publisher

                  To be honest with you, Diane, I'm surprised.

                  Please love yourself.

                        What a wimpy selection. Even BLM, and my disagreements with them, would’ve been more appropriate. But it should’ve been Covid related, like front line workers. 2020 will not be remembered in history books as the “Biden” year.

                                  This ranks almost as ridiculous as Obama's Nobel Prize. Their big accomplishments are, the way I see it:

                                  1. Oldest man to become president
                                  2. First Indian, Jamacain, African-American, Woman of Color as VEEP
                                  3. Their color is not orange
                                  4. First person to drop out of the race before any primary as VEEP
                                  5. They're not orange
                                  6. They're not Trump

                                    TIME lost relevance years ago. Time for the trash heap of history.

                                    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

                                    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

                                      Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                                        As with the Oscars, thousands of man-hours will be spent explaining why nobody cares about this award, by people who care so little that they spend thousands of hours doing so.

                                        And they'll sell magazines.

                                        I was only joking
