I made six predictions for this year on New Year’s Day, all of which addressed major themes for the year. I was clearly right about three items: the virus gradually became endemic; the Democrats were not wiped out; and a smaller version of the BBB did pass. I was clearly wrong about Trump waiting until 2023 to announce his candidacy. I was debatably right about the state of the economy, although interest rates have gone higher than I anticipated, and will go higher still. I was mostly wrong about foreign policy; there was no war with Iran, but Russia did, in fact, invade Ukraine.
So I’m good, but hardly perfect. That’s not exactly a surprise. Keep that in mind when I post my predictions for 2023 over the next few days.
