It will be hotter than expected.

Let’s see.

• We’ll probably be up to the iPhone 22 but I doubt that’s what they’ll call it.
• We will have missed the majority of the global warming deadlines to transition to greener energy by 2030 with most companies pushing out their timeliness to 2050.
• The buzz around AI will have died down a bit but the technology will have found its niche and been adopted both as a useful tool and the next step of enshittification against users.
• The SpaceX Mars mission will still be nowhere to be found
• The first $10 trillion+ market cap company will exist by then
• There will be some other, different conflict in the middle-east
• The invasion of Taiwan will have either already been attempted or China gives up on it and decides to focus on building their own fabs
• Putin is still in control of Russia but extremely rarely seen outside of his bunker. Thee are many conspiracies that he is dead and has been replaced by a double
• The war in Ukraine has stalled with neither party being able to achieve complete victory. There is an armistice in place but not a proper peace accord
• The price of food has almost doubled again compared to today but wages only increased by 60%
• There is an even higher social tension between the left and right but people are unwilling to try to break out of the two party system
• Lemmy has 2-3 x users compared to today but is still a niche platform

We’ll still be reading articles about Trump’s “legal blows” despite ongoing and consistently successful delay tactics.

It will be hot. Not just warm, but brutal. People dying in the streets of Detroit kind of brutal.

Oh, and those fucking lead pipes will still be buried in Flint and a hundred other American cities because no one gives a damn about the poor or their children.

The US economy will be much worse than it is already, the country will be at war and the government will be cracking down on civil unrest.

Shrinkflation gets so bad we reach the futuristic meal in a pill size, without the meal

I’m not even sure.

Parts of the country are going to be on fire.

I’ll be 29 years old.

I believe both the democratic and republican parties will be in the midst of a crisis of transition of leadership.

Six more years could easily take out the big power brokers of both parties, and I see this leading to a large amount of infighting amongst both parties for platform control.

For the Dems it’ll be between the establishment chosen successors and the progressive ascendants, it’s going to be a fight instead of a wash out because even convincing progressives to turn out for their own is like pulling teeth.

For the Republicans it will be infighting sects of the cult of Trump. In a peak of Irony, I see faults forming in a manner similar to the Sunni Shi’a split, where the disagreements are mostly about who the true successor is.

Yandere Simulator will still not be finished.

If I’m alive I’ll have tacos more often than any other single dish throughout the year.

Year 2030 will not start before year 2029 has ended.
I think it’s not til year 2048 that we get the actual Y2K bug at which point I’m a bit less sure.

It will happen in just under six years.
