Commentary: 2022 Won’t Be More of the Same

End of the year reviews, along with predictions for the coming year, are a staple around this time. But, as Yogi Berra wisely said, “It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.” 

I took a look at what I wrote last year, and a lot of it held up reasonably well (You can be the judge). I argued that the system and its managers are not doing a great job, the coronavirus crisis exposed their incompetence and malevolence, and that bad economics and crime would be major factors in marring the year ahead. Specifically, “a crisis of authority and legitimacy is emerging from failures in the most fundamental tasks of a society: the provision for basic needs, physical security, and a fair and accepted means of making decisions and picking leaders.”

  1. Interesting piece, thank you.
    I'm convinced that between voter apathy stemming from the lack of difference between the two branches of the Uniparty and the rigging of elections, we will see a total Democratic blowout in 2022, from the House and Senate, down to governors and possibly state legislators.
    One party to rule them all, or something like that.

  2. 2022 - more of the same but with global revolutions.
    2023 - global arrests of those complicit in the crimes against humanity.
