    I expect inflation to flip flop - down in the beginning of the year but devastatingly high later in the year. Workforce shortage grow worse. Leftist radicals will push wage and benefits beyond the limits and many small businesses will struggle their way to bankruptcy. Far too many unnecessary products to buy. people will become frugal out of desperation.
