I am pretty sure we will experience some domestic type terrorism. ( to continue ) Surprises in changes of "big" laws that affect a lot of people. ( abortion, immigration ). AI will be in our back pocket this year. ( it is a fast moving virus ) New global arrangements in big oil, energy, national trade. ( BRICS, EU, NATO, etc ) Weird music will get weirder ( robotic excellence in sound and video - AI enhanced ). That's a few I can imagine.

There will be assassinations.

 

[HermitHogan]

I think it's going to be a total sh*t-show.

 

[Dave03]

I predict I will have knee replacement surgery in April.

I also predict my dogs won't care and will jump up in my chair with me and cause me grievous pain. LOL.

 

[Aunt Bea]

I predict that Americans will be required to carry proof of citizenship.

I already have a state issued EDL, Enhanced Driver’s License, that should cover it.

After getting a set of tarot cards, I predict:
There will be a major sex scandal in the entertainment industry.
A CEO will be indicted for fraud.
There will be a "must see movie" in July.
There will be political confusion. (That one's way too easy )
Things will get more expensive and salaries smaller.

 

[Sunny]

The public will finally get burned out on Taylor Swift items in the news, and some other show biz celebrity will replace her.

 

[Tommy]

No idea what will happen, but something I would like to see happen:

The US does away with pennies, nickles, and quarters and goes to a single decimal place monetary system.

I could be wrong, but I seem to recall that was the case in New Zealand when I was there.

Ha ha .... You missed a hurricane in the Gulf, tariffs, and food recalls.

 

[Lawrence00]

With the advancements in AI, even more just regular people will be creating full movies. The entertainment industry will lose more influence, with regular people just entertaining each other.

Will people singing and dancing in large groups on tv ads for medications go away??

Fuzz, Buddy, they said 2020-FIVE.

These are your 24 predictions.

 

[Murrmurr]

National conflicts. I predict lots of those in quick succession in Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle-East. And probably in that order.

 

[MarkinPhx]

I will be laughing a lot on 2025. A lot of nervous laughter included.

It will rain at least one day this year at my location.

80s nostalgia will be big this year.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

I predict that there is going to be a world war three

 

[spectratg]

I predict that the religious nut jobs, as they have done for thousands of years, will predict the end of the world.

 

[dilettante]

Hawaii's famous Shirley MacLaine Park will become the Shirley MacLaine National Forest.

 

[papa tiger]

Some guy will come up with a really great idear that no-one will follow up on.

Aw come on, Fuzz... you're not fooling anyone... these things happen EVERY year!

 

[CallMeKate]

I predict that the religious nut jobs, as they have done for thousands of years, will predict the end of the world.

Oh, now that you mention it, we haven't had one of those for a while. Remember Harold Camping?

 

[Nathan]

Will people singing and dancing in large groups on tv ads for medications go away??

Sorry no, advertising will steadily continue getting more repulsive and more juvenile and obnoxious.

I predict that Americans will be required to carry proof of citizenship.

I already have a state issued EDL, Enhanced Driver’s License, that should cover it.

I will point out that, a State DL is NOT a proof of American citizenship at all. A Canadian or Australian who has a US work VISA can get for example a Texas State driver's license, while living and working in Dallas, or Huston.

Proof of citizenship for an American is hard to prove , unless you are willing to pay for a US Passport book or Passport card. A US State birth certificate is a weak type of identification, as it has no photograph, no address, and no signature on it. All a B.C. does is state that some body was born on a certain date, in a certain place in the USA. JIM.
