The same since 2010. Stupid people in charge making stupid decisions in favour of the few with money.

Earth will level up and we will all awaken the use of mana. With this we will solve the fosil fuels crisis, solve world hunger, unite humanity, create wealth parity and AI will be obsolete. But we will have to sent our earthen warriors to represent us in a battle royal against alliens whose planets also leveled up. If our warriors do well, we will unlock even more mana, but if they do badly, we won't improve our mana capacities.

That or same as the past years, just everything a little bit shittier. I'm hoping for #1 for obvious reasons.

In the US, midterms are just over a month away. New officeholders will take office early next year. As things stand, the Democrats are very probably going to take the House of Representatives and looking more likely than not to take the Senate. Either will give them the power to conduct investigations into Executive Branch activity. I would predict unprecedented use of this power. I'd bet that a lot of Trump administration figures are going to be spending most of the next two years sitting in front of Congress being grilled and with the Executive turning over information on its activities to Congress, some which will probably wind up in the press.

I sure hope you're right; although I unfortunately don't expect things to go that way... I don't have much hope or faith left. :(

Best case scenario it will stop most of the damage, but with veto power from the white house, nothing will get fixed.

Democrats will take congress but they won't do anything with their power. They never have, why would it be any different this time?

When you're bleeding out, the first step is to staunch the wound. You still have to do the other steps, but you gotta do the first step first.

Aliens. Fake alien invasion brought on by terminators who cause real aliens to come down and help us. It'll be Independence Day for a couple of months, then we'll transition to Star Trek, then eventually Star Wars by the end of the year

ah but you must be aware that the awakening of mana in humans will lead to wild animals awakening mana too. this in turn will cause most of the land on our planet to be overrun with beasts, while empowered birds and fish will make travel by boat/plane nearly impossible

I had the thought recently, people have been wishing for the death of Donald Trump, imagine if the way it finally happens is a hostile alien race kills him on national television and then start massacring the rest of us. It's the only way people won't be happy to see him die

The prediction I've been making since he got reinstalled is that trump will be out of office one way or another by around March--sometime after the new Congress is sworn in. I should say IF it actually does get sworn in, which is not guaranteed whatsoever--repubs have a trick up their sleeves to use a technicality in the Constitution to refuse to seat them, and if they do, I don't trust SCOTUS to try and stop them or succeed even if they do try.

Others: Canada and the EU will become closer and both will continue to pull away from the US as well as US tech. They'll also start building their militaries up more. Russia/Ukraine and US/Iran wars will drag on. Climate change will continue to be unaddressed by anyone.

The AI bubble will probably burst in 2027 but it may take longer. The longer it takes the worse the economic effects will be.

On the positive side,
