Predictions?

And don't forget my caveat:

"So (provided a media spotlight is turned on the dunn verdict) he's going to walk, in order to underscore the message and ratchet up the racial tension. The media spotlight part is key. It's a clue to the intent.."

Not sure if this dunn case got the attention that the zimmerman case got - (I don't watch much tv) - but I'm sensing that it didn't.

... Still, let's wait for the sentencing. I'm not always right. Usually, but not always. :mrgreen:

In fact, I hope you're right. I hope they put this motherfucker under the prison, and only take him out of his lonesome cell for someone to rape him daily
 
Prediction...

In the next 10-15 years second and third tier cities will rise as cities like NYC, Chicago, LA and SF become too expensive, and the Internet allows you to work from anywhere. Austin TX and Detroit will lead the charge

yep. Some places will experience a renaissance thanks to the web.

Hubs like nyc will persist, but the populace around them will be more diffuse.

Locations within 2 hours of the major metropolises will do just fine for the next generation of workers, thanks to the web. Upstate ny, catskills, places like that will attract people who can work over the wires and commute for face-time only when it's really necessary.

I like to think I can forecast events based on insight into society and social trends.

Not to pat myself on the back, but I knew that zimmerscum was going to walk, just based on the circumstances of the case and the spotlight on it.

My "paranoid" side says that when media is on a case like that - a racially charged case, verdicts are engineered to send black people a message: don't even expect justice, in order to maintain the social "order"...

So I'm also predicting that michael dunn will walk. You didn't think amur'ca was gonna play this "post-race" stuff forever did you? The powers that be are engineering a pivot back to the "old order," which is simply easier to manage for them economically, socially, etc.

With america's enemies discredited worldwide, and the infrastructure in place such that they're not much of a threat anyway, they have no more use for the "post-race" stuff. All it now represents is a populace that might somehow unite for real change, social, economic etc. and the old way is just so much more useful and easier to control.

So (provided a media spotlight is turned on the dunn verdict) he's going to walk, in order to underscore the message and ratchet up the racial tension. The media spotlight part is key. It's a clue to the intent..

But anyway, anyone care to make any other predictions? They don't have to be as grim as mine, but let's just see how good you are at forecasting (anything really) based on your insights.

I also predict that hillary clinton will run for president again, and again, she's gonna lose.

Just wanted to bump this old thread (posted back in 2013).

I was way off about Dunn getting off. I was right about assad keeping power, wrong about him being killed.

I was right about hillary running again, & losing again. I was right about "cold war" & proxy between russia and U.S.

whether I was right or not about society's pivot back to the "old order" remains to be seen.

Read this thread through & see what's on point or not.

And please, make your own predictions, which we'll examine in a year or two.
