2021 will be one of the hottest years on record. Wildfires will rampage across the western US in the last half of the year. Oil prices will decline to $30/barrel. The Dow Jones industrial average will break 40K. Interest rates will remain low. Employment levels will be very slow to recover to pre-COVID levels. Tensions between China and USA will increase, but will decrease between USA and Russia.

"He looked back at me, and he smiled, and he said, 'We understand one another.'"
- NetOpWibby 6y agoThat just gave me chills.
- JackFr 6y agoAnd then everyone on line behind him applauded. The source is Joe Biden. There is absolutely no way that actually went down as he described it.
- bsenftner 6y agoSmart reply; this is in the context of international negotiations - Putin's response is the correct response for Biden's little attack: it takes his statement of defect and turns it into a statement a power. That is astute.
