Just add your own, and we'll come back to this thread later and see what happened

1) I predict public schools will get rid of half their foreign teachers next year, then will face a backlash from the parents and have to reverse their policy within a few months.

2) I predict The recession will continue to worsen for 2 or 3 more years.

3) I predict the near total collapse of northern fisheries within the next few years due to climate change.

[On the other hand]

-The Yanks will be widely viewed as having lost Afghanistan. However, Obama will suffer no major loss-of-face, despite having supported the war from the beginning, since most of the western world supported it as well.

-Roman Polanski will be deported to the USA, and we'll have yet another LA celebrity trial/media event to enjoy.

-the Canadian courts will NOT decriminalize prostitution.

I predict the Fed will never be successfully or meaningfully auditted, even in the event of it being outright disbanded.

I predict that Mexico will become the new exporters to the USA instead of China due to high oil prices.

I predict that the discovery of an Earth-like extrasolar planet either this year or the next will completely change the way we view space and our view of our role in it.

As long as it's located in the habitable zone of its star, that is.

Tim Tebow will be a total flop in the NFL, putting an end to the multiple Tebowgasms experienced by the TV announcers.

Americans will continue to go homeless, but the US government won't stop giving taxpayer money to foreign countries and special interest groups.

Obama won't bring home the troops during his presidency, except for perhaps at the very end of it, because he knows there aren't enough jobs in America for them.

Baseball cards, even the ones currently worth thousands of dollars, won't be worth shit. Neither will the US dollar. Counterfeit gold and silver coins and bars will be a major source of frustration for buyers and dealers alike. Manhole covers, guard rails, stop signs, and other metal objects in the US will be stolen on a regular basis and ultimately melted down in east Asia.

There will be a burgeoning black market due to stifling taxes and wasteful government spending. I don't know if it will be a boom or a gradual increase, but prostitution will become big in North America and western Europe. So will bootleg cheap tobacco and alcohol products. More people in the US will be smoking handrolled tobacco than commerical tobacco.

Highrise hotels such as Marriott Marquis will have enormous problems, except for in cities like Washington and Manhattan where people get to spend other people's money.

Financially destitute but beautiful blonde hair, blue eyed women from current first world countries will, more and more, become mail order brides to wealthy men in current third world and emerging economies.

The much moaned about fall in residential real estate prices will pick up steam, but a lot of Americans will be pleasantly surprised to find out that affordable housing is a wonderful thing and much more desirable than being a debt slave.

North Americans will slim down some.

We won't be able to afford to import but a small fraction of the oil we currently buy. It won't be uncommon to see donkeys and horses pulling plows in the US, and maybe even used as a mode of transportation. The standard of living in America will actually go up even though it won't look glamorous. People will be less stressed out, and fewer American soldiers will die in foreign deserts and distant hellholes.

Tim Tebow will have a successful career doing color commentary for ESPN when he doesn't make it playing football.

Interesting thread.

The Korean university system will become a more attractive place for western teachers with graduate degrees.

There will be fewer western teachers in hogwans and public schools. Those jobs will be filled with gyopos, Koreans, and Filipino and Indian teachers. Western teachers will go to better jobs in China and SE Asia.

There will be an exchange of nuclear weapons within the next fifty years which will be serious enough to collapse a government or make cities or portions of countries unliveable. It will involve China and India or the middle east.

Europe will elect more hard-core rightist parties to expel violent immigrants.

The water system will collapse in Nevada and southern California.

There will be fewer monitors or LCD screens as it will be possible to project virtual displays into a fixed position.

More Americans will grow their own food, and wonder why they hadn't done so before.

There will be more trains and fewer cars.

An alternative, underground internet will form in response to a more highly policed, regulated, and boring internet.

The RIAA will admit defeat as file sharing goes on merrily, aided by steadily improving technology that may not involve the internet at all.

Bollywood will overtake Hollywood as a cultural and financial force.

Mexico, Canada, and the US will form a closer economic union with a single currency.

The working language of the southwestern US will be Spanish.

Africa will not improve one bit.

I predict that Bush will never be tried and found guilty
