Hiatus

The blog will be going on a brief hiatus. Big birthday looming, winter in Canada -- I think you can figure it out.

Anyway it's not like there's much happening in the world, unless you count....

• Trump vs Thunberg at Davos (today).  Prediction? Short-term winner: Donald; long-term winner: Greta.

• Bank of Canada decision day (January 22). Prediction? Unch.

• Brexit Day (January 31). Prediction? Short term impact: limited; long-term impact: severe but politically deniable.

• Trump impeachment (ongoing). Prediction?  Short term winner: Trump. Long term loser: rule of law.

• Super Bowl LIV (February 2). Prediction? KC, unless Mahomes is hurt.

Back before you know it.
