Post your 2016 Predictions here

Temperatures will vary.
Rain and snow and hail will fall
There will be earthquakes
The wind will and will not blow
Lives will begin and lives will end..
I guess that's my expectations for 2016

While promoting a new book, J. K. Rowling will reveal that she has always considered three of the prominent characters in the popular Harry Potter series to be Muslim.

GE will launch another TV ad campaign whose point is bafflingly obscure.

A new quirky cross-genre version of Pride and Prejudice will prove surprisingly popular among readers of quirky cross-genre versions of Pride and Prejudice.

A series of Young Adult novels will have a sensational debut. The series will portray parentless teenagers fighting back in a dystopian world where they're all being totally screwed over by adults.

Apple, Google, and Amazon will all launch competing and mutually incompatible monthly subscription plans for something that used to be free.

Microsoft and an iPhone?

One out of six isn't bad.






EXTERMINATE!
 
China, tired of propping up N.Korea, will invade. The USA will be forewarned and collude with China on this in return for elimination of 50% of US debt to China. Korea remains divided but ease of access across the border is vastly improved. The war is officially declared over and US forces are reduced to a fraction of present levels in S.Korea.

Doubt if this would happen, however if it did then it would benefit a lot of people. Even better if the South got something as well, such as improved contacts with the North.
