I'm 100% thinking the same, but I can't help myself think how this will be a disastrous change in some countries. For instance in Europe, fuel-based cars will be banned in 2030 and governments are active…

The US will see a slowdown in GDP growth, with a rate of 0.2%, while the Eurozone may experience a mild recession, with a rate of -0.1%. Inflation will remain high, particularly in Europe, though it will be lower than in 2022. 90% or more of the population of China will become infected with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants during the first quarter. Assuming infection fatality rate of around 0.1%, between 1 and 1.5 million…

ARs are quite common which is why I predict someone with a GAYR-15 will stop one of these attacks in its tracks and people will stop associating them with right wingers exclusively.

It would be pretty out of vibe for someone to open carry an ar at a pride parade. In lots of jurisdictions it would incite violent police response.

It's not at all hard to see the end of the blockbuster-multiplex studio-cinema model. Surely it'll take a few years but this year is absolutely grim. The top 15 superhero movies all time or in other words those that earned above a billion (and that's without adjusting for inflation) are all pre-COVID.
