20 2020 predictions part 2

In the year 2020...

11. England and Seattle will be growing the best crops on the planet just before their levees break.
12. A united Vietnam will become a world power as we complain how "The Vietnamese own America," much like we did about Japan just before it changed from a manufacturing economy to a service economy and like we do today about the Chinese due to their manufacturing economy. Invest in Vietnam now before they invest in us.
13. Far Easterners (Asians to us Americans) will be stereotyped as the terrorists threats. It went from the Italian Anarchists of the twenties, to the Irish and the IRA, now resting on the Middle Easterners. People will soon ignorantly talk about being uncomfortable flying with Far Easterners. These things just seem to happen.
14. Africa will be the up and coming Manufacturing sector and people in China will complain about losing their factory jobs to the Africans.
15. Michigan will double in size as The Great Lakes are downgraded to The Good Lakes, The Decent Lakes, The Fair Lakes, The Poor Lakes, until they are finally known as The Walkway to Canada.
16. The Mid-West Cheese Farmers will run adds featuring happy cows frolicking in the sun and California will have to discontinue their happy cow cheese ads after the The Great Conflagration of 2019 destroys the last of the pasture land.
17. Lab produced perfect diamonds will outlawed by force of the DeBeers company. It's bound to happen.
18. The woman's movement will firmly take root in Iran and they will have a female leader before we do. It's embarrassing, but thoroughly possible. The current conservative movement there hasn't always been in place, and eventually there has to be a major reaction to taking away rights from half your population.
19. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will suspend the entire league for two weeks for violating the new uniform policy, only to realize he never sent the new memo policy to teams.
20. Tom Cruise will reveal what an incredible actor he really is when he lets us all in on the secret that he never really was a Scientologist, he was just "doing research" for a movie about L. Ron Hubbard.
Bonus: Confounding predictions to the contrary, the NHL will continue to expand and adopt a European soccer format where the worst teams are demoted to the minor leagues. It's the only way to bring back interest.
