People Share Their Best Predictions For 2022

Looking back on the year, 2021 was not that much of a departure from the mess that was 2020.


Just when we thought we had a grasp on dealing with the global health crisis, this winter proved to be a repeat of public gathering cancellations, reinforced mask mandates due to the constantly evolving viral pathogen.
And just like in 2020, continual division prevents us from working together towards a common goal and finding solutions to a plethora of issues both domestic and abroad.

Did we think we would still be here at this time last year? Maybe, maybe not.

But as the new year looms, Redditor ibm322 challenged our predictions and asked:

"What is something you are pretty sure is going to happen in 2022?"

Personal goals are explored.

Where There's A Will...

"I'm losing 75 lbs. Its gonna happen, I'm taking my life back."

"EDIT: As a guy who has struggled with weight all their life. Struggled and battled an eating disorder for 11 years. Thank you all for the support and messages. Much love."

Place your bets, everyone. 2022 is already looking to be a bumpy ride.

While patterns and trends are bound to repeat themselves, I'm optimistic that positive changes are brewing on the horizon.

Because if we don't have hope for brighter futures, what's the point of all of this, amirite?

Trump Accidentally Roasts Himself With Ironic Question About 'Stupid People'

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after he attempted to defend his disastrous tariff strategy to reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday and issued a rhetorical question about "stupid people" that said more about him than anyone else.

Trump would later declare a full 90-day suspension of all the “reciprocal” tariffs that took effect at midnight April 10—except for those on China—in a dramatic about-face from a president who had long championed his historically high tariff rates as permanent.
