A few days ago, a brother whom I respect very much forwarded me a link with the title of "The following 50 changes may occur in society in 2024". The title of the article feels very loose, and I think the "prediction" is mostly nonsense.
After I was free, I took a look. I can't help but sigh: This is also a "master"? Among the 50 points, some are fait accompli -- this still needs to be predicted? It seems that the "master" is a lonely person; and some are just nonsense. There are very few people who are truly pertinent. Fifteen entries were selected for the reader's selection.
1. As soon as housing prices fall to the bottom, there is no way to fall, but there is no hope for a rebound.
6. Off-campus teaching and training has been completely banned, tutorial classes no longer exist, teachers are more dedicated, and student pressure has plummeted.
8. Preferential measures for buying houses will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and the mortgage interest rate is likely to drop to about 3%.
11. It will be a year in which the mainland's economy will bottom out and stabilize and rebound rapidly, and the economic development in the next few years will certainly get better and better.
12. The real economy is gradually picking up, and there are fewer and fewer salary cuts and layoffs.
13. The employment rate will rebound significantly, and there will be fewer and fewer unemployed people.
14. More and more college graduates can find suitable jobs, and the number of college students delivering food is gradually decreasing.
15. The business of physical stores has gradually improved, and the transfer rate has been greatly reduced.
16. There are more and more tourists, and the consumer market is booming.
26. It will be the first year of the stock market, and then it will be in a bull market for a long time.
32. The problem of unfinished buildings will be properly solved, and the phenomenon of rights protection in the property market will become less and less.
39. There are fewer and fewer people ordering takeout, fewer and fewer people drinking milk tea, fewer and fewer people eating in restaurants, and people pay more attention to eating healthily and choose to cook and eat at home.
42. The reduction of U.S. bonds will be faster, and the total amount of U.S. bonds will not be higher than 500 billion.
49. There is an 80% chance of recovering Taiwan Province, our treasure island, and there is a high probability of a peaceful return.
50. The life of the common people is getting better day by day, the people have more faith, the country is more powerful, and the nation is more hopeful!
What do you think, readers?
In terms of people's livelihood, 2024 will continue the trend of 2023: macroeconomic data looks very attractive and powerful, but the perception of ordinary people is a different situation - it is difficult to find employment, dare not consume, worry about pension and serious illness, full of questions about the education mechanism, and powerless about the various "volumes" of children's education......
As for housing prices, how dare the state let housing prices fall endlessly? Local governments even more not!
In the past 2023, the stock markets of major capitalist countries have generally risen sharply, which has made their shareholders live in "fear" every day of worrying about the stock index turning around. In the current environment, talking about a bull market is a hooligan!
As for the U.S. Treasury bonds, by the end of 2024, the mainland "will not hold more than 500 billion U.S. bonds", I can only say that this "master" knows almost nothing about politics!
As for the recovery of Taiwan in 2024, I can only say that this "master" is a psychopath. Perhaps Nietzsche and Schopenhauer were originally masters, but later went crazy.
Zigong, a proud protégé of Confucius and the biggest economic supporter of Confucius's team, asked the teacher one day:
"Who has a word that can be practiced for the rest of my life?" (Teacher, do you have a teaching for me that I can live for the rest of my life?)
Confucius answers:
"Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you. ”
Zigong asked for a word, and Confucius gave him one word: forgiveness.
"Forgiveness" here does not mean forgiveness, forgiveness, or tolerance. Confucius himself has said that it means "do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
2024 will still be a very difficult year! In the midst of hardships and hardships, in order to make ourselves happy and others happy, the word "forgiveness" should be the way and the word "forgiveness" may be the most appropriate and wisest way to act.
