What to be afraid of the next ten years?

Bloomberg introduced the "Pessimist guide" until 2028. In it, Putin leaves the post of president of Russia

The economic publication Bloomberg annually publishes the so -called “pessimist guide”: a list of the most unpleasant events that can occur in the near future. This time the guide is designed until 2028, ten years in advance. In short: Trump will be re -elected, fake news will destroy Facebook, Japan will receive nuclear weapons, pensioners in Europe will win youth, and Vladimir Putin will leave the post of president of Russia.

The second term of Donald Trump. The tax reform of the White House will lead to rapid economic growth, the investigation of Russia's intervention in the elections will not lead to anything. Trump with a slight advantage will be elected for a second term and fulfill the promise to cancel the medical insurance system, but will not be able to replace it with anything. The crisis will begin, and the new elections in 2024 will be won by the presenter-democrat Jimmy Kimmel. Four years later, the Republican and Democratic Parties will finally break up, there will be four candidates in the elections, not one of whom will receive the number of votes necessary for winning. A major political crisis will break out.

Facebook will lose the fight against Fake News. The governments of many countries around the world will follow Russia's example and create their own “troll factories”. Half of Twitter traffic will be on bots and fake news accounts. After the largest hacker attack, voice assistants will advise the owners to vote for Trump. People will cease to understand where the truth is and where not, Twitter and Facebook will cease to exist in modern form. By 2028, half of the Russians will be sure that Trump became a lifelong president because of a fake video from the coronation ceremony of a billionaire.

Bitcoin will replace banks. Already in 2018, due to the vulnerability of banks in front of hacker attacks, the cost of bitcoin will increase to 40 thousand dollars. In 2021, it will reach 100 thousand dollars, Greece and a number of African countries will transfer to bitcoins. By 2028, the banking system in modern form will cease to exist, and the largest online services will switch to bitcoin, the cost of which will exceed a million dollars.

Kim Jong -un will die. The DPRK will launch a rocket that will fall 20 kilometers from the US coast. Trump will decide not to aggravate the crisis and not answer. In 2019, Kim Jong-un will die from a heart attack, and the new government will decide to abandon the nuclear program. China will strengthen friendship with the United States and, with the connivance of Trump, will return Taiwan. Against this background, Japan will begin work on nuclear weapons and by 2028 will become a nuclear power.

Socialists will seize power in the UK. Dislike negotiations on leaving the EU will cost Teresa May Premiere chairs. She will be replaced by the leader of the Labor Labor Jeremy Corbin, a convinced socialist. Education will become free, Corbin reforms will become extremely popular, but will greatly hit the budget. By 2028, the threat of British default will be very serious.

Pensioners will collapse in Europe. Europe is aging, and an elderly generation votes for conservative parties supporting the regional branch. Belgium will fall into three parts, Catalonia and Scotland will gain independence. In France, as in the UK, socialists will come to power. Among European youth, 50 percent unemployment will be established.

China will unleash a major trade war. Climate changes will lead to the fact that rivers will begin to dry out in China. China will impose trade sanctions against countries, which, according to Beijing, have caused the greatest damage to the environment, including against the United States and Russia.

Electric cars will defeat the dependence on oil. In 2018, the batteries will become extremely effective in 2018, and electric cars will gain popularity, which is why OPEC will reduce oil production so that its cost does not fall below $ 50 per barrel. Despite this, by 2021 oil will fall to $ 20, and the US economy and Japan will be shocked by a sharp decrease in demand for ordinary cars. In Russia, riots will begin at oil plants, Vladimir Putin will leave the post of president and leave the head of the Central Bank Elvir Nabiullina in his place. By 2028, Putin will completely disappear from public life, and Nabiullina will hardly hold the country from the collapse. Oil will cost $ 10, OPEC will decay, the oil industry will shake the bankruptcy of the largest companies.
