"Time of great uncertainty"

This "Time of Great Uncertainty".

"These Uncertain Times".

Notice how this terminology is ubiquitous now? It's everywhere.

Last night there were earthquakes and the local news opened with that story. The anchor says, in this time of Great Uncertainty there have been a series of earthquakes.

Then the commercials.

Hyundai does a commercial for their car, says "in these uncertain times".

Next it's Sprint, again, "in these uncertain times".


TOPICS: Society
KEYWORDS: catchphrase; uncertaintimes; uncertainty
Uncertain times.

Time of great uncertainty.

It's like there was a directive to use use this term, or something.

I was wondering about the commercial where some poor young
person has to quit school in order to help their family put
food on the table.

They must have a hell of a lot of food if it takes the whole family to put it on the table.

I said this Wednesday, on another forum, with words I wouldn’t use here.

It’s weird.

It’s like “one who must not be named.”

They also say things like “this is the new normal”.

“Doubt” is a god to these folks. The climate change fear-mongering idol suddenly had to compete with current events so it shape-shifted into a virus panic.

Yes. And the marketing phrase repeated over and over.

Time of great uncertainty.

Uncertain times.

Every tv show, every commercial.
