I’m the lucky one. I’ll be dead within twenty years. Maybe even five.
Problem: with the cows gone, how can you make pizzas without cheese? Ponder that.
As John McLaughlin used to say, the great thing about predictions is that everyone forgets them by the time the next show appears. So you can say whatever you like and the results don’t really matter.
Most of these “futurists” have qualifications (and a track record) no better than fortune tellers
