In 2016, the end of December was dominated by “Worst Year Ever” memes.
It was a year of terror attacks, police shootings, Zika and Brexit. The year Bowie, Prince and Leonard Cohen died, the year Donald Trump was elected and “dumpster fire” became the phrase on everybody’s lips. Then, the following year, a call for revision: 2017 was the worst. But those years and the two that followed were mere middling warm-ups for 2020, which feels less like a dumpster fire and more like a tire fire or the Centralia mine blaze, a coal seam fire that turned a Pennsylvania city into a ghost town and that isn’t expected to finish burning for another 250 years.
