Person of the year - Musk or Bezos or Whom?

"The person who has really set our world on fire, changed things like never before, put just about everything we know and love upside down - is Joe Biden. In my lifetime, I have never seem one person change so many things. Are they changed for the better? Ah - that would be a big NO!" 

I understand that Elon Musk is going to be Time's Person of the Year. Good. He deserves it. He is pushing the envelope like very few others have in my lifetime. But so is Jeff Bezos. His new "buy a ride" to space using Blue Origin (the very strange looking rocket ship) is opening new doors. But what Bezos has done with Amazon, has turned the retail world upside down. He really has flipped the script on how we buy things. Now we have Amazon delivery trucks all over creation.

But Musk, he is so far out of the box, there really is no box. While Bezos is offering rides to low orbit for a fee (some get to go for gratis), Musk's thinking is way, way beyond that. Like, how is he going to get animals, two by two, in one of his larger rocket ships, so he can take them to Mars. Wait - what? You mean like Noah's Ark? Kind of, sort of. Sure, there will be lots of humans going to Mars also. But this animal thing - what the what?

Maybe Musk is concerned about Wormwood, the prophesized asteroid which will be part of the Tribulation. Or, maybe it is because of our global warming. Heaven knows what Musk will find waiting for us on Mars. It might make our "manmade global warming", look like a walk in the park. In any event, Musk is a man of vision, more so than anyone else I can think. So - do I think he should be the Person of the Year? Maybe, maybe not. If the new definition of being the Person of the Year is now for changing things, not necessarily improving things, I have a better choice.

The person who has really set our world on fire, changed things like never before, put just about everything we know and love upside down - is Joe Biden. In my lifetime, I have never seem one person change so many things. Are they changed for the better? Ah - that would be a big NO! But he has changed things. The southern border, the economy, the broken supply chain, the pandemic side issues - the list goes on, and on, and on. Yes, Joe Biden is a true change agent. Even more so than Hitler or Karl Marx. 

If Time still used the older standards for Person of the Year, it would be Elon Musk, hands down. But with the new definition, who has changed things the most, it would be Biden by a mile. Let's hope that next year, Biden's name would not even come to being considered. Only positive change agents next year. Like, the new Republican Speaker of the House. Stay tuned for that one...
