Who knows 🤷♂️
We slotted into the wrong timeline when Al gore lost.
I try not to go down that rabbit hole. 9/11 possibly doesn’t happen and that changes everything.
Or even better, Carter wins a second term in 1980, no trickle down economics. Corporations are kept under control. Taxes on ultra wealthy stay in place…
He won though, the system sucks.
Still worth voting, but that was some bullshit.
Depends on your point of view. Where? For whom?
In my case, in my corner of the world, it looks like it’s going to be slightly better
Yep
I don’t know, I just want to socialize more, even if that’s while fighting at the front.
Every year, fewer people starve, and more children live to adulthood
So, even if it feels pointless, do the little things that make the world better. The effects will only be noticeable when enough people join, but every step counts and has the chance to motivate others
I genuinely want to feel hopeful but what if the lens we are using zooms outward to include animal and plant life? Every year feels like more and more death occurs.
Worse, based on trends over the last couple decades.
I feel like I’m bracing for impact. I think it’s gonna get a lot fucking worse.
* shrugs * Depends on what happens during it, I guess. I’m a chronic worrier and anxiety haver, but even I feel that this question is a bit too premature.
For anyone worried about the future, I recently stumbled upon this video which hopefully can put things in perspective. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGmdvdXoJ-8
For me personally? Most likely worse, so far 2024 has been good with unusually few issues. I expect 2025 to regress to the mean amount of misfortune.
Your year will largely be what you make of it. I’m hopeful I’ll have a good one. Good luck and have fun with your journey.
The result of the US elections are the tipping point either way for the whole world, and every country is awaiting what will happen.
One side drops the world in misery, from the full destruction of Ukraine and it’s people, to an intense war in the EU and the Koreas.Taiwan as a country will cease to exist, as will its chip production. Not to mention the deep scarring that will take place within the US itself where it will see the Constitution torn up. America First, but as a consequence it loses power and status everywhere else for years to come.
The other possibility is that starting in 2025 the current big worldwide conflicts will be resolved semi peacefully, a slow growth to more financial prosperity and equality sets in plus a number of billionaires will need to pay some of their taxes, but international treaties and trades will be reinforced.
I am really hoping for the latter, because if the outcome is the first, we’ll see a least a decade of chaos and economic downfall everywhere.
So, my choice is made, it will be better in 2025 <crosses fingers>
Im somewhat of a doomer and I see a steady overall decline. so for me its a choice of a lot worse or a little worse which is also a no brainer for me because I prefer slightly bad to real bad but Im wierd like that.
I’m hoping it’ll be better for me despite everything going on politically. I should be done with a treatment that, fingers tentatively crossed, will help my depression, my therapist just entered a pact with me and we’re both gonna start walking four times a week at minimum, and I’ll hopefully have dropped the ten pounds in trying to lose by then.
Of course, I’m American, so probably none of this matters if the GOP takes control. People like me are first on the chopping block for conservative genocide, and part of project 2025 is to completely eliminate any and all legal protections for people like me.
So, I hope it’ll be better and I won’t get hate murdered. Fingers crossed!
Depends on where you live. If you’re in the United States, you should definitely be preparing for a imminent incoming recession.
Feel like I’ve heard this constantly for the last 2-3 years at least. I guess if you keep saying it, someone will eventually hit the right timing and claim credit for having predicted a recession.
Have a look at the unemployment data which just recently hit 4.1% the household jobs survey versus what the government says.l and theres a gap of like 600,000 jobs the government claims that households cant find, consumers have spent themselves into a wall and are pulling back, etc. With inflation being as high as it was and is if it’s above GDP then we actually have negative growth.
Maybe, maybe not. I just know that people who try to predict the future are wrong most of the time, especially when it comes to the economy and trying to time the markets. Never works.

I’ve lived through the cold War, have followed geopolitics for over 30 years, it has never been this hot.
Me too and agreed.
