I have nothing to do now. My life in the '20s was based entirely on coaching my kids' travel hockey and now they're doing other stupid things like education and jobs.

On the bright side, my wife finally went back to work. Because our property taxes are now approaching $30k/yr.

Elon might be little late but he delivers. You give Elon a decade and that's like giving 50 years to regular genius.

No one has won betting against Elon Musk. WelshBloke will not be an exception.

Everything about Elon Musk screams Trump to me, but Musk is an actual billionaire.

I'm sure that one of us will bring the forum back as a pet project if Anandtech closes up shop by 2030. We could probably run this whole thing in an AWS instance for under $50 a month by then.

However by then the ISPs will have convinced the government that consumers actually want data-caps on their internet, and most people will hit that cap by the second of the month.

I don't know... once the new AMD Ryzen 10800X and Nvidia GeForceXtreme 12800 come out, I think that we'll finally be able to play it in 8K VR!

It's too bad that those parts will cost $1,500 each, though, because Intel went bankrupt and got bought out by Disney in 2027. The new DonaldDuckCore architecture can't compete!

It's too bad that Space Force blew up half of Mars in a training accident. Elon really wanted to colonize that planet first!

They really should have kept the instructions for the Fusion Reactor prototype in metric, but President Trump the 2nd wouldn't allow it.

Here's a link to the article. I can't stand this guy reading it to me badly.

Here's how life could change in my city by the year 2030

It might seem odd to you, but it makes perfect sense for us in this city. Everything you considered a product, has now become a service.

That article is scary but probably on point, I could really see things become that way. While the green energy part is good, I feel they will twist that in a way to use it against us as all the green tech will have tracking in it and be cloud based and all that crap. Just look at Teslas. They will make everything that way, and also take away the idea of ownership for most products. They already are doing that with so many things being subscription based now or requiring an account. Really not looking forward to any of that being 100% the norm. It's what the UN is pushing for too, lookup UN agenda 2030. Scary shit. They even want to ban land ownership and small cities and want everyone living in these big cities where every aspect of your life is controlled and we're just cattle. I don't think it will get quite that way but they are pushing for it.

I'll be shocked if Tesla haven't solved FSD by then.

Agreed!

Something about Snow on the ground and not being able to see the lanes.............

Something about Snow or freezing rain falling and covering the cameras/radars

Might be an issue. And no way they change the road structure in 10yrs. Millons of miles of roads......

Except she won't be Ivanka Trump, she'll be Ivanka Putin.

I wasn't sure how the "Ivanka story" played out. I came up with these two scenarios:

1) President Trump brings Ivanka on as a senior cabinet advisor after he gets reelected in 2020, and she does a surprisingly good job, OR

2) Joe Biden gets elected in 2020 and does such a terrible job that the Republicans sweep the 2024 election.

Either way, I'd imagining a reality show being filmed in the White House with frequent target shooting and NASCAR racing outings being filmed in her first term. It will be a ratings bonanza! How does "Duck Dynasty - Presidential Edition" sound for a working title? 🙂

Both scenarios sound highly unlikely. But then again, so was the 2016 election outcome. All Hail Ivanka!

The green energy initiatives will be hailed as a tremendous step forward as the utility companies will install solar collectors on every residential roof free of homeowner cost. The meters will still be charging you for usage of the solar energy, however.

You don't have to wait until 2030 for that, they already have solar PPA for years now.
 
I heard that Cheez's electric scooter company just had a billion dollar IPO. I guess that Jesus gave him some good advice on that subject!
