Observations

 1.  Cuomo.  I suspect if you went and ask Governor Cuomo about his situation....he'd tell you that he's utterly shocked at events, and that he's just acting the same way as he has for the past thirty years.....never grasping that he's been on the line of bad behavior for the whole three decades.  

2.  Kabul, Afghanistan.  Within ten days, I expect the city to fall.  US evacuation efforts?  By the end....they probably will manage to get 30-odd thousand people out of the capital by cargo planes.  President Biden?  He'll be unable to say much over this, and just avoid any mention.

3.  At some point in the next five years....we will end up finding half of the US states having education standards that mirror Bolivia of the 1960s.  No one will be able to explain the rational sense to this, and the US Army will admit it's hard to recruit when the typical 18-year-old kid can't read beyond the 3rd grade level. When you ask the kid about this issue....he'll ask why reading is such a big deal. 

4.  Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd start to suggest a food crisis starting up in China in the next month....with serious public discontent over how this developed.  Trigger?  Floods, Covid, and shutdown regulations. 

5.    The next official of the Biden administration to likely leave?  Homeland Security chief Mayorkas.  The job is beyond his expertise.
