A lot more misses than makes so far. There's a bunch of election-related predictions that will be coming due in the next few days so there should be handful of hits about to come through.

There are a few predictions that I'm either not familiar with or I'm not sure how we judge it. Like, was the wall funded by 2020? 371 miles of wall have been built, though most of that is replacing old walls/fencing. Idk how to judge this one.

Not sure how to judge trag's: "States will reopen out of economic necessity/lack of Federal support. Distancing and the ability to work from home will become a pleasure of the haves, while illness and death will become the reality for have-nots (and the ignorant and stupid)." The spirit of this feels right, but it's not as quantifiable as other predictions.

Argo, 4/5, Green Habit, 96583UP all have 1 correct prediction.
Argo and Mickey both have 1/2 a right prediction, but missed on the main idea of the prediction.
Simple Torture missed with his overly precise prediction of RBG's death, but the spirit of his prediction was sadly right on.

Bernie is by far the most pro-Trump reelection politician in DC.

There's a prediction thread so maybe I should put it there, but here goes: Biden is going to lose to Trump by a wider electoral college margin than Hillary did.

In my defense I could not have imagined a COVID response this inept, but I'm definitely going to eat shit on this one.

If you think about it, I was technically correct to predict that my previous prediction would be wrong.
