* Later in the year China will take military action, likely towards Taiwan . America will comply cause they knew all along. The CHIPS act was actually them giving CPC the go ahead. This may be preceded by the next one

* America will have a local crisis that leads to violent unrest. Perhaps coming from either Florida or Texas who are currently very belligerently sick of illegal immigration on their borders. Perhaps around outrage at giving billions to Ukraine to stop Russians from coming across their border, and not to their own (TX, FL) to defend their border? This will leave China more free to act in Taiwan

* AWS will announce a cockroachDB "killer" version (just like MSK aimed at confluent, DocumentDB aimed at MongoDB) , perhaps a new Aurora variant in RDS

* Netflix will have a marked decline in prominence, stock will start to resemble something like Ford (F) -- treated as a bond, and bought for cash flow. Share price will approach $100 (P/E ~10)

* People who lost their jobs, sick of it all, will start to build offline lives, return of the potluck and being grateful for small things, GenZ being so disillusioned by it all and longing for LowFi will actually disconnect and find analog life to be both the lowest fidelity, and the highest pleasure.
