Normstradamus

Just to get the insult out of the way, you can say Normstradamus, or Normthedumbass what ever floats your boat. Last week My wife and I went to dinner with friends of ours and we had a great meal, and a few drinks which led to some spirited conversation. At the end of the evening my friend said just for fun, make a list of your predictions for the year 2011, and at the end of the year we can see what happened, or did not happen.

Here we go:
1). This is kind of in the works already, but I did say that food prices will skyrocket, due to some problem with the food supply, and the new legislation giving more control to the government with the food safety act will aid in this process. Also the birds fish crabs etc... Dying all over the place will make seafood prices go up as well.

2). The mass die off of these animals, will prompt global leaders to meet and discuss, climate change, and this will provide them the fear platform they need to push through the carbon tax, which failed miserably last year.

3). When the stimulus money dries up, and the full effects of QE2 are felt in the markets, you will see a massive sell off of stocks, and I do not mean a 500 point drop, I mean 1,000 point drop, and a few of them. The markets are high, because they are propped up right now with money that is not backed by anything right now.

4). Gas for your car will hit $5.00 a gallon by June.

5). Inflation is coming to a grocery store near you.

6). A massive earthquake in the United States will happen before fall.

7). The US Government will disclose the reality of UFO's.

8). The US dollar will collapse.

9). The US economy will collapse.

10). A massive terror attack, or a virus, will re emerge, and cause a panic.

I think 10 are enough, and hopefully I am wrong about all 10, but here are the numbers I am certain will in fact happen, and those are 1, 2, 6, 7, and 8.

Happy New Year!
