WDP — Huh?

Daily writing prompt
Do you need time?
View all responses

Interesting question. But what the hell does it mean? Is it a deeply philosophical question about whether or not human beings need time in order to function? In order to survive?

Or is the question asking me, personally, if I need time? Time for what? Time to internalize the results of today’s election. Yeah, probably. But usually one would ask if I need more time or less time, not just time.

So I’m not sure how to answer this daily prompt question. I suppose the answer is yes, I need time.

But having said that, I need only one time, not two times. So pick one time — I don’t care if it’s standard time or daylight saving time. Just pick one or the other and keep it year-round. I don’t need time to change twice a year, year in and year out. That’s just stupid.

Or is the question asking me, personally, if I need time? Time for what? Time to learn all of the features and functionality of my new iPhone? Yes, I do. But usually one would ask if I need more time or less time, not just time.

4C0C7DC3-4B67-4B3A-B683-8E0059E54049More Americans, by far, have contracted COVID-19 than the citizens of any other country in the world.

More Americans, by far, have died from COVID-19 than the citizens of any other country in the world.

More than 66% of Americans believe that Donald Trump is doing a poor job handling the coronavirus pandemic.

More than 74% of Americans believe that Donald Trump is taking America in the wrong direction.

America currently has a higher unemployment rate than most other developed nations.

Yet, on average, polls show Donald Trump still has the backing of more than 40% of Americans.

Please, can anyone help me understand why that is and why Trump still has a chance to be re-elected in November?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
