Predictions for 2014





I dare make them.

  • Healthcare.gov will begin working, and people will sign up for care. The problem will be lack of younger people signing up, and new rules will be fashioned to force them further into the Obamcare mandate, as the fine will not be enough to sustain the law.
  • Local and state governments will face crises in 2014 and big layoffs may occur throughout the nation.
  • The winter of 2014 will be warmer than normal. Less snow than normal. But when it snows it will be big. Weatherwise, there will be hurricanes that strike the United States. Tornado season will be especially dire.
  • Democrats will get control of both the House and Senate. Republicans will begin to reorganize and promote Chris Christie for president.
  • Art Bell will NOT return to radio.
  • The Hollywood blockbusters of the summer will be huge. People are craving an escape from reality, and movies are going to feed their desires.
  • There will be new court actions against the NSA spying programs. People will begin to speak out against government surveillance in bigger numbers.
  • Time travel will not happen, but discoveries of the universe will feed into the notion that it can.
  • Radiation from Fukushima will begin to create dire problems in the Pacific Ocean. 
  • Milk prices will be $7 by December 2014.
  • There will be a burst of enthusiam for the Catholic Church, thanks to Pope Francis and Hollywood movies about the Bible.
  • 2014 will not be that bad. All in all.
