2020: The year where YouTube under COPPA plus COVID-19 on the loose combined occurs!

I like how you specifically mentioned COPPA before a global pandemic
 
How do you even compare the two? One is a pandemic killing thousands. The other is a Government body stopping a corporation abusing children for profit.

This year has been challenging for a lot of people. Coronavirus is making society shift a lot. It's really showing the cracks of capitalism and the greed of those in power. Australia isn't in lockdown yet but most businesses are closing / going remote. My first day working from home is tomorrow. We have paid sick leave and pretty good healthcare overall. As long as people listen to advice and stay inside where possible, I think the country will be ok.

Hard to say about other places like the US which don't have universal healthcare. Also makes you think what kind of world we'd be in if Trump got re-elected after all this. :/

Also reminder that the Australian bushfires were devastating and happened this year. It's a sign of things to come all over the world if we don't stabilise the climate.
 
Well mentioning SARS-CoV-2, will get you will get you demontized on YouTube, which is bullshit. I have it myself. The pandemic it should clear in around 6- 12 months, but that is my estimate.

Well

*Russia's oligarchs further abused their power to keep Putin in power by making him president for life. As if the democracy was even functional to begin with.
*Trump pissing off Iran with the strike that killed a high ranking military leader and instigating conflict there that happened in the New Year.
*In terms of US election of this year, the Dem nomination likely going to be Biden, yet another Democractic establishment figure who I think will lose to Trump. Trump's re-election would be extremely damaging to the US, as if his first term already isn't already. I mean, I hope Biden wins and I want him over Trump, but he's like another Hilary situation with yet another pungent Dem with a questionable history compared to, say Bernie.

That piled on top of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Trump administration's utter ineptitude at responding it (like dismantling a pandemic response team and feeding lies that it's not a big deal and whatever) and I think it's off to a pretty rotten start. It's going to take, idk, maybe a blue takeover of the Senate and Trump not being president anymore to reverse how I feel right now and with Biden likely being the Dem nomination makes me...pessimistic to say the least.
 
cant wait till next month when the aliens come and enslave us all
 
Considering how the terrible illegal alien rhetoric gets constantly lobbed around by the Republican Party, I know that statement's supposed to be ironic but that's literally how the Republican Party acts towards undocumented immigrants.
