    • AI bubble pops as investors begin to realize that nobody is willing to pay for this stuff that they’re sinking their money into.
    • China invades Taiwan. It’s brutal and bloody. The US destroys TSMC and other key technologically significany global infrastructure.
    • As a result, the global economy again collapses as the bottom drops out of the stock market and multiple high profile companies go bankrupt. Executives get golden parachute on the way out.
    • Venezuela is going to turn ugly as a power struggle ramps up among rival entities.
    • The US will invade Columbia and Panama, but not Greenland.
    • Ukraine will continue fighting against Russia, the stalemate will continue.
    • Interest rates are going to be ramped up too fast in a effort to juice the economy before the midterm elections. Only to make inflation worse. We will continue to see prices increase.
    • Trump and the Republicans are going to hype up another racist fear tactic as red meat for their base.
    • Trump’s mental and physical health problems get worse, his deterioration is very obvious but nobody will say or do anything about it.
    • ICEs violence will increase, as will anger of protestors. We will see riots and mass unrest.
    • The Republicans lose the midterm in a landslide, Trump whines about it on truth social, calling it rigged.
    • Wildfires in the west, hurricanes in the east.
    • The internet gets even more dead and useless as more and more AI slop fills up every nook and cranny of all mainstream sites. Subculture sites and the Fediverse remain mostly fine.

      i feel like the dead internet theory is already on most of the social media platforms. more than half of reddit is AI/ and bot slop.

      they just extend the insurance subsidized, both parties know they are going to lose seats over if they dint.
