You know, we’re diving into some real talk about how predictions can totally go sideways. I took a stroll down memory lane, checking out my annual prediction special from last year, and wow, I really missed the mark on a bunch of stuff. First off, I didn’t see just how much President Trump is into tariffs—like, seriously, it's a key piece of his economic game plan. We also touch on the hustle of the Democrats, with AOC and her crew trying to shake things up, winning in New York City but still facing some uphill battles. And let’s not forget about artificial general intelligence; it’s on the horizon, but we’re not quite there yet. So yeah, I’m laying it all out there, and I wanna hear what you got wrong too—hit me up at jamesabrown.net!

Speaker A:
This is the Daily note from jamesabrown.net I was looking at my first annual prediction special from last year and boy, I was wrong about a lot of things.
Speaker A:
First of all, I didn't realize how much President Trump loves and I mean loves tariffs.
Speaker A:
Yes, to some degree it was a bargaining ploy, right or wrong, but it also seems to be a big part of his economic vision.
Speaker A:
I don't expect them to end without a fight.
Speaker A:
And artificial general intelligence is closer.
Speaker A:
I think we see some fascinating things, but it's not here yet.
Speaker A:
And yes, the AOC and burning wing of the Democrats tried to take control of the party with mixed results.
Speaker A:
They won New York City but not the war, at least not yet.
