There are likely millions in the US who are now functionally 20+ years older than they were a year ago. It's going to take a decade for this knowledge to diffuse through to everyone as the funerals of young people become the new normal.
There is a very small chance that the narrative of how this disaster happened is properly known, most likely it will continue to be buried.

Computers still won't have capability based security, and the slow moving disaster will continue. We'll keep blaming C, programmers, hackers, and users... all the wrong causes.
---
Democrats will fail to accomplish any of their stated goals (which suits the donor class just fine), and the other team will win a lot of seats. Donor control over government continues intact. In 2024 control flips, and the story repeats.
---
Slowly evidence emerges that there have been many overunity devices invented in the past century that were suppressed to keep the status quo going in the fossil fuel industry.

There's a small chance the donor class loses control... and it could go poorly.
A few decades? Do you have a citation on that?
If you look through all the reasonable predictions made in the 2020 predictions threads for the coming decade, there were only 3 mentions of pandemic, none of them close to being on point, and that had actually already started. Thus, if you want to actually have a chance of predicting things, you have to go out on a limb.
Some people still have not had their sense of smell or brain fog clear. People who experience these side effects have their brain literally shrink in size. These symptoms are real. Whether these symptoms lead to early death is speculation. But the calling them not real is as much denial as saying Covid itself is not real.
If you haven't noticed, people love to feel fear and anxiety.
Can you elaborate this? I didn't understand much of it.
For example, the carbon capture threads in the past two weeks seem to be over-unity, but in an obscure way. I suspect the ultrasound and silver nanorods floating it gallium might be involved in some form of sonoluminescent fusion events, the energy of which is captured in the splitting of CO2 back into carbon and oxygen.
I suspect that because the world is actually starting to die off due to the gigatons of CO2 we've dumped into the atmosphere, this (the Carbon capture/gallium thing) might be a trial balloon by the group that controls these technologies, having hoovered them up across the past century, to see how they can keep profits while slowly letting their dependence on fossil fuel profits give way.
I'd give that a 50/50 chance of reflecting reality. If true, the future will get better. If I'm wrong, and it's a fun tale to tell at parties as the world burns.
There will be no market crash.
There will be no real consequences for Jan 6.
Non-farm payroll numbers will continue to disappoint for months.
* Mid-year elections where 34 out of 100 senate seats are up for election. This is gonna pull us apart further. I expect a lot of violence.
* Inflation will raise more and faster.
* Stock market is gonna climb even higher as more and more money are gonna get printed by the feds. (SSI is getting a 5.9% boost!)
* Many companies will abandon mandatory in-office work for most of the back office type positions.
And the 'managed decline' of Britain.
It's been on the decline since 1776
Only a matter of time until it starts to fully take into effect.
Maybe it's time to finally hit that sell button?
Crime, homelessness and drug problems continuing to get worse to the point where places like Portland Oregon either collapse into chaos or are forced to do mass sweeps / arrests.
Divorce rates climbing while marriage and fertility rates decline.
Prediction?
Yes, prediction.
Pain.
It could well be something like Ebola, with a r0 of 1.8, and a high fatality rate. A lot of people will decide that they'd rather risk death to a disease over certain death from poverty.
Basically that everything will continue to get worse.
Lockdowns to continue throughout the world.
Some big events will be cancelled because the performer gets covid.
WFO pushed back and back due to covid outbreaks.
