The Gloom Gurus.

I see the YouTube self-styled gurus are capitalising on the Covid crisis. Only these are the gloomy variety, frowning manfully and meaningfully while telling us how terrible life is going to be after the crisis is over.

Why do they do that? They’re like those irritating people who delight in telling you how bad the weather is going to be tomorrow. Why would I want to know? If I’m going to live through tomorrow, I’ll do so anyway. Knowing that the weather will be bad will only send me to bed in a bad mood.

And, as usual, the self-styled gurus don’t know any more than I do. And yet 79,000 people tune in just to have themselves made miserable.
