A year and a week ago on Curmudgeon's Corner, Sam and Ivan made their predictions for 2021. As usual there were predictions in the categories of Politics, International, Economy, Technology, and of course Hodgepodge. Tune in this week to find out how they did! Spoilers: They did better than they did with their 2020 predictions! Of course that isn't saying all that much… And ignore Sam saying this was recorded on Friday the 7th. It was Saturday the 8th. UTC anyway. He just got confused.
