I heard a poll today that shows the number of Republicans that consider themselves "Trump Republicans" is falling like an anvil on a coyote.
Best thing I have heard in quite a while.

Medical/scientific advisors (Fauci alike) are going to insist that from the very beginning they were telling about such need because they knew that vaccines will need top ups.
When challenged with records of what they have said at the beginning of 2021 they will insist that it is not their voice, on films are impostors and materials are manipulated.
2. Electricity in most of Western Europe will cost more than 1$ per kWh before next year ends. There will be rolling blackouts at least in some European countries in February or/and March next year.
3. Russia will be barred from SWIFT system, but they will care little about it due to launch of West independent system in cooperation with China.
4. Gold will go above $2500 an ounce.
5. Ms Harris will formally become an acting POTUS.
6. Somewhere there will be an exchange of fire between US and Russia or China, not necessarily a large one but still.
It will be direct, not by proxy.

Are you sure this is your take, and not the take your Russian pimp-handler told you to post?
I noticed you had nothing negative to forecast about Russia or China despite lots of bad news for both countries.

My take is that Russia and China will be just fine, even if the USA and its proxies start a war with either or both of them. The Russian civilization has been around for about a thousand years and will still be around in 2023. The Chinese civilization is the oldest, continuously existing, still surviving civilization on the planet, and will still be around in 2023.

At my work, people are starting to quit because UPS wants to cut everybody's pay. They offer a bonus to make up the difference to the old pay, but they won't make any guarantees about how long it will last, or whether the terms will change capriciously. My guess is their economist(s) have told them they don't need to actually change the pay rate. The people who are quitting, they must be saying, will be coming back soon.
I know that's not the whole story. It must be part of it. I wonder what corporate expectations are?

Oh the first will be wonderful to revisit in 7 days, the others we can chalk up for later. If this kind of overly specific, doom-centric all channels, all the time claptrap doesn't look like StarvingPuttyTat, I don't know what does.
Especially the decades long track record of such (endless) specific doomer predictions on this site, for decades.
Doomers might be off on their timing but the trend line is that things are getting worse.

There was a news story today that there is a 80,000 shortage of over the road truck drivers and they can command $100,000 + salaries. That is probably where your quits are going.
Think how much WORSE Covid-19 would have been if the internet didn't exist.
EV's are objectively better than ICE's and bound to improve significantly for decades.
The primary negatives re resources available per human is driven primarily by population growth
But if you ONLY focus on resources per human, population, and the effects on things like geopolitics, then yes, lots of things are getting worse. But that's no more "everything" in the life of the typical first world person than the earth is flat because flat-earthers who yammer a lot exist.
