My forecast? Frankly, I hope things spiral towards the worsening state on all fronts, save major war, so that upcoming elections everywhere...supposed free elections, that is, might yield other than short-sighted fools/fanatics as leaders.
For my own part, I’m ordering large bags of rice, dried beans, cornmeal canned foods and other basic food stocks.
