Ah, 2021. What a … year. A … year, indeed. Shall we compare thee to a summer’s day, or a sinking ship? When asking Americans to describe their year, we got some “crazy,” “horrible,” “interesting” responses.
Luckily, with such a … year, it is only up from here! Right?! Don’t answer that. To this end, 59% of Americans believe that their personal lives will be better in 2022, and 45% have the same outlook for society in general. How quickly people forget how they felt at the end of 2020.
