Tariffs and Tech: What I Got Wrong Last Year

from The Daily Note with James A. Brown

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!Takeaways:Last year's predictions showed I really missed the mark on many key issues.President Trump’s love for tariffs plays a big role in his economic plans.Expect a major fight before any changes happen to current tariff policies.Artificial general intelligence is getting closer, but it's still not quite here yet.The AOC faction in the Democrats is trying to gain control, but it’s a tough battle.They may have scored in New York City, but the overall struggle is ongoing.Links referenced in this episode:jamesabrown.netThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy
