Can 2023 top '22, or any of the past couple years?

Will we see global peace, safe streets, falling prices, pleasant weather and lower taxes?

An ancient visionary said, "Nyet!"


Punxsutawney Phil has seen his shadow early and his prediction is 12 more months of...



Optimistic? Or will things really go downhill.

Let's hear your prognostications for the "Year of the Water Rabbit"

Wait a minute... water? rabbit?

Poll added, closes in 365 days, so vote early and often.

You may vote for more than one disaster! :)
 

Something other (add comments)​

During 2023 the pain will be slow and tortuous. Governments of the World are borrowing staggering amounts of money to simply "shore up" their collapsing economies. We will not see a 2023 Depression. There is an excessive amount of Government "Free Money" still in the pipeline that will allow millions of people to not return to work. Those with an excess of $ 1 Billion in disposable income will continue to spend on trophy houses, vintage auto collecting, race horses, yachts, travel and lavish entertainment. The "Middle Income" Americans will suffer the most during 2023 because they are the group that is losing the most.

Well, at least some will be spending on worthy causes!

The economy during those years was a trainwreck.

If there were more poll choices available I might have added massive Interwebs virus/outage, and perhaps some technology-driven disaster like the Millennium Tower in San Francisco tipping over, an underwater tunnel flooding, huge bridge failing, dam bursting (3 Gorges may or may not have leaks), Chernobyl II, , super sinkhole like this one, maybe in Philly or St. Louis

Magnetic Pole Shifts, Coronal Mass Ejections and experiments going horribly wrong at CERN are always fun wildcards. Laboratory errors and anomalies yielding mutant venomous deer, alligator-giraffe hybrids, and flying pit bulls ("80 pound carnivorous bumblebees swarmed the helpless explorers") are also enjoyable to muse over on a wintry eve...

I just hope we get something better after this. Between electronic voting machines, money printing and corporate media I think it will just get worse and worse.

Meanwhile we still have morons who think 15$ an hour jobs are driving inflation etc.

This is why I keep saying that we have it easy....

The late 1970's and 1980 were a trainwreck beyond comprehension.

The economy sucked. The cars sucked. The gas prices sucked. The music sucked. Jimmy Carter sucked. Iran sucked. The US Mil Sucked. The Soviets sucked. It sucked. We sucked.

Nothing today is close to as bad as it was then. But we bounced back in 2 years. And things didn't suck.

Short of going full-Yugoslavia (That sucked, I was there)... things do not suck yet. If we go full-Yugoslavia... it will suck at levels that Atlanta 1864 can't comprehend... Will make the Civil War look like Teletubbies.

But I don't think we'll go there. Because we have this shining light on a hill. Its called America... and the filament in that light is the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

So suck it commies. You may have your Das Kapital and your Marxist predictions. But we have the Constitution of the United States of America.... and HUMAN NATURE on our side. And humans have natural rights. That have evolved in 150K years of... being human. We will NOT be denied those rights. Whether in Wyoming or Bankok, Lesotho or Germany. New Zealand or New England. We WILL follow that torch to the city on a hill.

Fuck you commies.

Indeed...and just a few decades later; Obumer and Xiden made Jimmy the 3rd worst President in modern history.
 
my version of 'other' is "political strife". "Politics" themselves are going to dwindle down to base levels, and the adage of "Not My President" is going to fester and permeate the populace to "Not My Government" and then THAT is when things are really going to go to shit.

No, I'm not saying I want this to happen. What I AM saying, is this is what I see coming. Think "Ferguson",,,,, writ larg.

So (and this is not personal because I know where you stand)... but how did Canadians do with this concept?

Man, I'd love your vision to emerge.

And as for populace... In many (most?) states, gummint handouts are worth more than careers or work.

So... are they going to revolt? Or say "Those bad truckers are standing in between me and my welfare. You need to kill them there Constitution-loving vermin." I mean... it's all about branding.

And if one's population disarmed... what's stopping it? Fortunately, we are not disarmed!

actually an alien invasion MIGHT be good. MIGHT unite the species to resist. although most libs and their pols,elites and bureacrats would avoid or backstab the species to get in on a big opportunity.

I would want us to make peace with those aliens so we can fucking leap forward by a few thousand years of tech, join others who are out there already and start exploring and building shit among the planets and stars. The leftists would be very likely to provoke them and we can then show our new friends who we are by purging the fuck out of the libtards. "These AIN'T our kind"...

I predict 2023 will see my podunk town’s first Chick-fil-A.

That’s basically the harbinger of world peace.

Need to make a dart board out of the poll choices for every year remaining this century. I'll pick 5 to up my chances of getting something right. I'm going with megaquake, supervolcano is unlikely unless there is one we don't know about. Cascadian Subduction Zone and New Madrid are due for another big one. WWIII starting with either a small nuke or brief exchange then turn conventional. Financial collapse, our Treasury is just a bunch of IOU's now anyway. Civil unrest, propaganda machine has been running full steam since at least 9/11, once the division of the people is complete, the unrest begins. Financial collapse will speed that process up.

I've been researching several British tabloids, and most of them seem to think ol' Nossie was predicting widespread cannibalism:






Sounds pretty ominous.



If that isn't bad enough, Washington is trying to wreck the Corps

Wrong vid, my bad




How are we supposed to fight off cannibals and commies and space aliens if we're preoccupied with gender pronouns?


Bottom line is 2023 could be bad news.

There is a significant event that is known and is going to occur. A Comet will appear. It is a well known tradition/suspicion that Comets foretell death.….In April 1997, It was a beautiful night, our son and his friend had finished practicing their skiing and drove over to Chatham to get a burger. Brenda and I went out onto the lake to view the Hale Bopp comet. When we got back to our dock and put the MasterCraft up, I got a call, my mother had a stroke, she never recovered consciousness and died the next week.

it gets worse. Carolyn Shoemaker and her husband Gene, both famous for co-discovering comet Shoemaker–Levy 9, were involved in a car crash after photographing the comet. Gene died in the crash and his ashes were sent to the Moon aboard NASA's Lunar Prospector mission along with an image of Hale–Bopp, "the last comet that the Shoemakers observed together

its a dangerous world.

The republicants are going to get voted in as the majority. Then finish the wall while deporting 30 million illegals. They're going to cut spending and the budget.
Swalwell, schift, pelosi, Schumer and several other will

Wait, who am I kidding?
We're on course to repeat history so I will go with the new Great Depression. Leading up to genocide of white nationalist domestic terrorists.

We have an 80 year old pedophile for president, his interest in sex with grade school age kids far exceeds his desire to run the country. He somehow won an election with millions more votes than voters and saying it out loud will bring FBI/KGB thugs to your door. His crack smoking kid collects hundreds of millions in bribes and graft for the family and not one media outlet cares.

The Chinese launched a world wide attack on capitalism in 2020 with a virus Bill Gates paid them to create. It was designed to collapse economies world wide and enslave the billion or so low IQ idiots we created in the last two decades. The treatment for it was essentially a dose of dirty water than gave you 0% protection against the virus and its side effects killed 300,000 people as well. No one in power cares and no media reported it correctly.

Until recently, our salvation was a porn star humping New York billionaire with one of the worst cases of megalomania in the history of man. His inability to see past his own greatness led him to hire the absolute worst people for every fucking job and they all betrayed him the first chance they got.

We are currently trying to destroy ourselves by eliminating all forms of power production and transportation that are affordable and actually work. We are doing this because people are now so fucking stupid they have no idea what it takes to build, maintain and support a world powered by batteries.

We are being flooded with tens of millions of foreign scum and thousands of tons of narcotics every year, so the judicial system will collapse completly and the leftists will empty every prison in the country. The only thing stopping them is that they have yet to ban civilian ownership of firearms and eliminate the right to self defense.

We should be fucked soon..........................................................................no worries Wade will save us.

Boy, have we become a pessimistic bunch.

That said, wonder how ole hiden biden would respond if that once every 650,000 years super volcano known as the Yellowstone Caldera were to erupt. Folks, its been roughly 650,000 years since the last eruption. This is not a joke.
