It’s so hard to predict things these days. I forgot last year, but I can see how I did with my 2022 predictions.
- Covid forever. Wrong. It’s like it never happened. We are all back to normal. Except people don’t high five in tennis as much. We clank rackets. I hate that.
- Autocrats gain power. Yup.
- Mid-year elections. I don’t even know what I was predicting. Turns out the liberals did quite well.
- Supreme Court will eliminate abortion rights. Check.
- Protests. Yes, but that’s not much of a prediction.
- Warriors win the championship. Nope.
- Crypto. Mixed. It went up and then down, and back up.
- PS5. I did get one eventually.
- I got older, yes.
- Two of my sons did enter the workforce successfully.
2024 Predictions
- Biden will win. Trump will be on the ballot, despite the 14th amendment argument. I am deeply pessimistic on this whole thing. It’s going to be a tumultuous year.
- Adam Schiff wins Senator of California, but I actually want Katie Porter to win. I’m a Porter Supporter.
- More electric cars available. This is not much of a prediction, but I am very happy about it. We need to get electric cars everywhere.
- Ukraine holds on. It’s a desperate battle, I hope they survive.
- China does not invade Taiwan, but makes life miserable for many people.
- Crypto goes up. Bitcoin is at 43k right now. I’ll predict 50k by next December.
- Twitter (X) goes bankrupt. I think Elon Musk is a nutcase. The way he acted in that interview from the NY Times was unhinged. If not 2024, then 2025. But it is not going well.
- Threads from Facebook does not take off. I am hoping BlueSky opens up more.
- I get bumped up to 4.5 in one year. I am really hoping they don’t, but I am not optimistic.
- Draymond Green is traded to another NBA team.
Some of these are hot takes. We shall see how it goes.
Predictions are fun. Happy Holidays everyone!
