The national and local economy are strong, and that trend seems likely to continue. I’m excited about possible political developments, especially on the national level. There is too much unrest in the world, and a crisis could trigger an economic downturn. The 2024 presidential campaign is likely to have a negative impact on the nation. There are too many unknowns to consider; it’s hard to say how the year will go.
