2009 predictions a little late – JOIN IN!
S orry I am late with this post because I used to have so much fun with this. Let’s do it now and at the end of this year we will see how true we are. If you wanna predict something, add it as a comment and we will see what happens. I will post the most accurate on my New Years 2009 post. Good luck.
Ricks 2009 Predictions
1) I see a derailment of a train – passenger one not freight. People will someone blame the government for the accident.
2) West Coast has another mega earthquake this year. This one is felt very far away so it’s not localized to California. What makes this one different is there is warning it will happen before it happens.
3) US Mail service will drop to 3-4 days a week.
4) A mathematical calculation made this year will be the break though to figuring out how to travel across vast parts of the universe in days instead of years. There will be talk about how we plan on sending something in space to a distance part of the galaxy in days but we will not be able to confirm it in our lifetime. People will give up hope of space travel.
5) 3D TV will be rolled out as the next generation TV. Amazingly affordable too. This one innovation will open the Hollywood up and technology up to many different new companies. Laptops and computers will be the first to use this new technology and we will see by 2010 Holidays this in stores.
6) People will be able to send electric impulses to other humans with the aid of something they wear on their wrist. The purpose? To power up small devices and store this energy to share. Something about walking power adds juice to the battery. Clothes will add this feature. Funny part… people are doing this to be “green” but it proves to be a fad.
7) Nevada will experience a fire unlike it has ever seen before. Vast areas will be lost and tourism to Las Vegas will be hurt badly for about a month as people are afraid to go there.
8.) Canada will seek the protection of the USA when it falls under attack. This request will come from England. America responds but opens its borders to Canadians to expand its trade under an agreement to help. China will respond to this as an act of aggression and force America to pull back aid.
9) Tilapia consumption will increase because it will be discovered that there is a chemical in this fish that cures a mental illness.
10) Gay rights leaders will have to deal with the issue of a new serial killer who is worse than Gacy. What is worse is the fact he is well known already. The public will decry the crimes until a great straight leader defends gay people to the point to changing laws as the only way to stop this in this in the future.
Bonus prediction….
Right under Americans feet will be found a valuable mineral in such vast quantities and the President enacts a law that only individuals and small companies can mine it, not large companies with foreign support, because of this economy. This strangely causes a “gold rush” of sorts not seen this century as hundreds of thousands of people who are unemployed become self-employed. The taxes alone on the sale to other countries recovers the national debt to a manageable level.
