I feel like I’m a really good judge of character; I can tell if I’m not going to get along with someone or how they will treat me in the future. When it comes to high profile celebrity figures, i can get a sense of their character through very minimal data. This is why I predict Andrew Tate (toxic manosphere influencer) will pivot into becoming an alien conspiracy influence. But I have no evidence for it, thus the prediction is baseless.

Anyone have any similar beliefs/predictions?

    How does Disney factor into this prediction? I’ve never been there, but it seems like an oasis in the middle of a shit desert (speaking mostly about its ability to manage itself and just generally function).

      disney, and HOME insurance is one of the things besides disney keeping it afloat. nobody wants to risk insuring a disaster prone state.

      It doesn’t help that DeSantis’s anti-Disney push was around the time that Disney was in the process of moving more corporate jobs from California to Florida, which Disney stopped doing after the fiasco.

      However, what will likely cause a collapse is that Florida has gotten into hurricane home insurance. If there is a bad year for Florida, Florida might not be able to cover the payouts for insurance claims. Combined with its current housing price slump already, and Florida may have major issues down the road.

          I know someone in Florida who pays about 40% more than me in home owners insurance, despite my mid-Atlantic house being worth ~2.5x as much.
