Coal power plants will continue to be shut down, but it will happen faster than electrical power storage is built leading to a minor energy crisis and the spending of at least 400 billion dollars globally in battery power rush jobs, not to mention the money that will be spent on new solar farms.
Corn, beans, oats, rapeseed oil, and wheat will decline in price relative to inflation as global warming provides an extra planting period in the northern US.
Oil prices will remain low throughout the year, but will rise near the end of 2021.
There will be famine in Western Russia. Putin will lose power and money, but will still be in control of the country if he survives.
In the likely case that Biden ascends to power there will be a war between the US and a middle eastern country. The relative declining price of oil (despite attempts to prop it up with wars) will continue to destabilize the region otherwise as well.

There will be a call for reform in the nursing home industry.
The Queen of England will die. Joe Biden will step down due to poor health.-- Voice, Oct 11 2020 Nice try, [Voice], but as we always archive all our threads, and any changes or additions thereto, any subsequent edits will be noted and - if necessary - corrections will be added (and administered).-- 8th of 7, Oct 11 2020 Ahhh...I'd bun this a zillion times if I could.-- blissmiss, Oct 11 2020 //assume there will be a year 2021// I think it will go ahead, but will be known to future generations as "the year without a public gathering".-- neutrinos_shadow, Oct 11 2020 Or maybe, a bit like AD 69, it will be "the year of four presidents", with the present incumbent tweeting "QUALIS ARTIFEX PEREO !!! SAD."-- pertinax, Oct 12 2020 <in the spirit of rememberancing [MB] by applying scientific method>
I wonder: was the Covid combined with the cancer what got to [Max] and knocked him out so quickly? We're finding out that a tremendous number of people are having 'long haul' aftereffects of the original illness, and that it appears to be primarily targeting the body's inflammatory and circulatory systems. He wouldn't have known, as the disease was so new. The 'Rona is even more dastardly than we thought.-- Sgt Teacup, Oct 12 2020 Entirely possible. A month previous to [Max] we lost a dear friend who, in addition to a recent injury and sepsis, had "an unknown flu-like ailment". He went from hale and healthy to gone in an abrupt 29 days.-- whatrock, Oct 12 2020 After Legionella was identified, a trawl back through years of stored pathology samples turned up numerous previously unexplained fatalities, so it's entirely possible as [what] points out - but there are vast numbers of these little viruses swilling around, waiting for an opportunity - i.e someone who's already seriously ill.-- 8th of 7, Oct 12 2020 I vote that pride month be replaced entirely with Max month. He liked parades, as well as playing with small types all packed together.-- 4and20, Oct 12 2020 Like us you mean.-- blissmiss, Oct 12 2020 +++-- xandram, Nov 30 2020 In the land of fruits and nuts (California) all petroleum related fuels and all coal, oil, gas and nuclear power plants will be abolished overnight because they are "terrible and icky". The subsequent continuous power outage will be blamed on Trump, the far Right, white supremacist groups and crooked politicians (not their own). All personal gold will be collected, melted, cast into an effigy of Joe Biden and prayed to. Nothing will happen. $5.9B will summarily be crowdfunded for Magical Green EcoPower From Uncle Gavin Who Loves Us. Nothing will happen.-- whatrock, Feb 01 2021 There's a bush fire up the Swan Valley.
Would [AusCan531] like to check in here to let us know he's OK?-- pertinax, Feb 02 2021 Overwhelming public knowledge will force world governments to disclose more than fifty years worth of classified data causing a renaissance never before seen in the history of mankind.
...and then we spore.
That is all.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Feb 02 2021 one day [8th of 7th] wore his huge bushy beard face mask and was mistaken as the Roman Emporer, Hadrian. The townsfolk threw themselves at his feet and worshipped him and therefore brought him all the cats in kingdom...-- xandram, Feb 02 2021 Mistaken as, or mistaken for? The difference is important.-- pocmloc, Feb 02 2021 for...I think. I’m not that intelligent-- xandram, Feb 02 2021 Oof.-- ytk, Mar 18 2021 We sat by the 'phone all day on 11 March and no one called us to join in. It was [8th]'s idea, and he had gone on ahead, without telling us.
