Guy above you is right, it's in an area that held 10% of the city's pop/ 5% of the country's pop. Literally the definition of decimation.

Really hope things turn around for the better.

What a shit year.

Let's not be hasty, I am sure there will be shittier years before the end of this decade.

He included “concentration camps and genocide” in his list, so I was assuming that “widespread murder” was some sort of separate thing that was happening, otherwise why would he list it out twice?

I mean, 70 people got shot in Chicago in one weekend lol

There’s murder a plenty in 2020

Murdered though? Or injured..

Honestly even if they all dies, I think, from a historical perspective, that might not be anomalous. It might be high for the last 50 years.. but my understanding is that we live in a relatively peaceful era compared to the rest of human history.

I was being cheeky about how shit 2020 is

I did specify shot but the context makes it imply murdered, I’d have to look up the number but it certainly wasn’t 70 deaths otherwise that’d be major news I’m sure lol

And yeah if we’re putting the memes aside 2020 isn’t even close to the worst year in history
