It does feel like there have been 48 months this year
Seen out front of a hotel in Santa Fe recently: "2020 has been longer than a CVS receipt"
For anyone else confused: CVS seems to be a chemist/pharmacy shop in the USA; this is unrelated to CVS (Concurrent Versions System) the software.
For anyone else still confused: CVS is an American retailer that typically issues receipts with additional advertising, bad low-value coupons with paragraphs of exclusions, on the bottom of a receipt. This makes a single-item purchase result in a receipt exceed 2m in length.
Do you live near Jupiter?
I think they’re referring to the number of months will the next election.
