1. The next wave of social. FB is dead. Twitter is imploding. The govt is trying to get rid of TikTok. Mastodon is too hardcore for your mom in peoria. But there's still a need, and someone is going to figure it out. So 2023 will see a flowering of ideas most of which will die and one of which will win.

2. Investors move into water. The US Southwest is at a crunch point now. Its not so much that people have seen evidence that makes them want to change as seeing evidence that there is money to be made trading rights to water. I actually thing water wars are a megatrend, but even if Im wrong there, the situation out west is dire.

3. There will be an implosion in corporate real estate as leases terminate. Some downtowns will collapse.
