[ExI] My prediction

[John Clark]

*I will make two more predictions: *

*1) The idea of Universal Basic Income will start to become mainstream but
Mr. I Lowered Drug Prices By 1600 Percent will not embrace the idea because
if he doesn't even understand how percentages work then he certainly can't
understand the gargantuan economic and social disruptions that AI will
produce. *

*2) As a result of #1 on January 1, 2027 the popularity of the current
president will be at its lowest level that any president has had in the
last 50 years. *

*By the way, I woke up this morning and learned that we are now at war with
Venezuela. Venezuela?! That will probably cause He Who Must Not Be Named
popularity to jump upward, but it will be temporary, by January 1, 2027 it
will either be ancient history or we will become mired in yet another
pointless guerrilla war, **so I'm sticking with my prediction. *

*I predict that 2025 will be the last normal year that any of us ever see.
