It's 2021 in Eastern Asia and Australia so I'm gonna kick this off now.
So, who's gonna kick the bucket this year? Is this the sad year Betty White will perish? Will Kamala Harris get a promotion? Will Tim in the sales department who keeps promising new customers features we don't have nor will ever consider finally get what's coming to him as soon as it's safe to meet him face to face? Only time will tell!
