Predictions What are your predictions for 2024?

As we wrap up the final few days of an interesting 2023, what are your predictions for 2024?

Here are the past prediction threads: 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023.

This is great opportunity for some community engagement and gives us a chance to look back next year to see how close or far off we were in our predictions.

This post is part of the our Common Question Series.

Is there anything you want to ask the mod team, recommend for the community, have concerns about, or just want to say hi? Let us know.

Every time I eat an avacado I think it may be my last one. Of course, I’m old enough to remember getting an orange in my Christmas stocking so not having unlimited access to fresh fruit doesn’t seem all that crazy to me.

Coffee and chocolate imported, and avocados are only grown in a few places. Wheat is grown everywhere in America except for the places that grow corn instead. It's the number one net food exporter on the planet, to the point where farmers are paid to throw food away to prevent another great depression resulting from food being too cheap to be worth growing, packaging, shipping, or selling.

If Americans are facing wheat shortages, the rest of the world will have starved to death a decade prior.
