Context: 2020 refers to the year were it was proven in a life size experiment that Murphy's Law applies. Let us remember this adage: "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong". Adhering to its application, citing Peter Drucker regarding the dealing on complexity of management; <<Drucker's Law>>: "If one thing goes wrong, everything else will, and at the same time." Tracking monthly we may even expand to the <<Finagle's law of dynamic negatives>> a.k.a British wider axiom<<Sod's law>>: "Anything that can go wrong, will—at the worst possible moment." Related arguments: - Australian bush fires/Kobe Bryant accident (the year started in mourn) - Coronavirus pandemic - Iran attacks US bases in Iraq / US kills Iranian general Iranian Qasem Soleimani (causing war fears) - COVID-19 death toll rising (managing worldwide the pandemic) - World's biggest lockdown (the management was poor) - Olympics postponed (first time in history this major event is cancelled for other reasons than war) - Bloodbath at the markets plummet - Biggest Locust attacks (things going poorly at the worst possible moment) <<Things went 2020>> already means by the end of June, as most of memes have pointed to "worst year ever - would not recomment", ranging from the fully active sci-fi to the epic post-apocalyptic world life. Another applycation to this, is rephrasing or substituting "sh!t happens" or the current "F", massively and in all fronts.
