As other news establishments look back, The Free Choice E-zine prefers to look toward the year ahead.
Australia celebrates its 120th anniversary today.
January 20 America will have a new President and Vice President as Joseph Biden and Kamala Harris (respectively) are sworn into office. Although whether or not outgoing President Donald Trump leaves peacefully remains to be seen.
Hopefully there will be enough vaccine supplies by this coming summer to inoculate the world against COVID-19, although it may still be awhile (2022?, 2023?) before the pandemic can be declared officially over.
Yet having a viable vaccine is the first step in the long term goal of getting this world back on its 
figurative feet from a health, social, economic, ecological, and other perspectives.
And this humble E-zine will celebrate both its 2500th and 2600th posts in 2021.
This is career post #2461 for those interested.
