- New Minimum Wage Laws— Lots of the nation's hourly workers saw an increase in their wages today. What'll they spend it on next year? Who knows?!
- North Korea— Blamed for a vicious, movie-canceling cyber attack last year, and military aggression in years pervious, the only thing out of North Korea this year has been an offer of talks with democratic South Korea.
- Celebrities Survive— We haven't lost a single famous comedian, actor, or musician this year. Phew! Our pop cultural greatness endures!
- No Lost Planes— Seriously, how did we as a species lose so many planes last year? The good news is, we've lost none this year. Double Phew!!
- No Ebola Outbreaks— Deadly ebola virus outbreaks? SO 2014.
- Black Eyed Peas— The Black Eyed Peas released no new music in 2015, to the delight and/or relief of music fans worldwide.
- Terrorism Still Alive— Unfortunately, with a shooting in Calgary and a bombing in Nigeria, people still haven't learned how not to kill each other. Tragic.
- LinkedIn Opt-Out— After years of trying to stop the flood of LinkedIn emails, I haven't receive a single one!
- Ice Age 2.0?— For the Northern Hemisphere, at least, it's been winter for all of 2015. A result of climate change, perhaps, or something more sinister (rethinking #2 above)?
- Economic Stagnation— Reeling from the effects of a 2014 hangover, many consumers avoided any purchases in 2015, with many businesses opting to close for all or a large percentage of the year.
- Political Stagnation— As predicted by think tanks and pundits alike, the US Congress did absolutely nothing this year.
- Personal Successes— On a happier note, a huge number of people have been able to keep their 2015 resolutions!
- No More Post Office?— Did anyone even see a mail carrier today? I sure didn't!
- We Don't Need No Education— Schools across the US remained closed in 2015. I guess the real Common Core is intellectual stuntedness.
- Number 6 Again— Seriously, I'm just so glad I didn't have to listen to the Black Eyed Peas this year.
Did I miss anything? What were YOUR favorite memories from 2015?
