Empty head

… not a good way to start a new year.

But it’s Friday and my son commented on the absence of blog blather recently. It is of some solace that somebody noticed.

The real reason for the absence of new air hot year predictions is that I am a doomsayer that didn’t get it quite right.

• Peace has not yet blessed the Middle East nor Ukraine, but it looks to be soon.
• I did Trumpet the the new US Pres, but not the extraordinary global impact thereof
• Covid has seen a major slowing of China’s economy
• The swing to the right in western democracies is gathering momentum: goodbye Trudeau, good riddance
  • Who else will go? Macron? Scholtz? Starmer? Albanese? (please!)
    • The Muskimpact on technology and economics has been phenomenal; his forays in communications are redefining political dimensions and the expression of the peoples’ wishes. (Wait! Isn’t that democracy?)
    • Jordan Peterson seems to be doing Robbie Williams’ Better Man type of change
    • The influence of influencers defies imagination and logic.
    • The Wallabies could win the Lions Tests, but don’t bet too much on it.
