Great epidemic year
The new diagnosis curve in the United States is still elegant. 16 million were diagnosed, almost five percent of the national population.
If none of your 20 friends are infected, it means that the new crown epidemic is simply a lie. It must be a conspiracy theory developed by the Internet and streaming media giants, the purpose is to let us stay at home and surf the Internet.

03
Protest year
The BLM movement, protests against racial discrimination and police violent law enforcement incidents are endless. About 15 million people in the United States participated in a certain protest.
From the scale, the women's movement in 2017 and the gun ban movement in 2018 have been exploded.

Poverty year
This year, the economic situation of many people fell into a dilemma. The rich are richer and the poor are poorer. As the stock index returns to highs, another phenomenon is that more and more people are starting to lose food. This is the search volume trend chart for "food distribution" on Google:
Many retail companies have maintained high profit growth this year, with an average increase of 39% year-on-year. However, the increase in employee wages is obviously disproportionate. The average hourly wage has only increased by $1, an increase of about 10%.
(Comparison of the increase in profits and wages)
Needless to say, the unemployment rate is the highest since the Great Depression. It reached a maximum of 15% in April and gradually dropped to 6.7% in November, which is equivalent to the level of the 2008 economic crisis.
05
Natural disaster year
There are 30 recorded Atlantic hurricanes with names. The most in 20 years. Of course, the fire on the West Bank is also booming. By the way, it broke the record of California fire history.

Technology big guy laughs haha years
The stock prices of tech giants easily outperformed the S&P 500. In particular, Amazon and Apple's stock prices have risen 70% from the beginning of the year.
Companies in the Internet, hardware, and communications sectors are the big winners this year. Petroleum, civil aviation, and banks became the Big Three in Luther.
In terms of profit, in the last quarter of 2020, Amazon's profit was three times that of last year.
Ask the Amazon friends in the group to type the words "winner in life" on the public screen.
