I recently saw someone creating a bingo chart for 2025 so I decided to create one for 2026 (image of this post). What are your predictions for 2026?

No protest with over 500k ppl in France? Have you lost your mind?

I know, I know. A risky one. They are taking a lot of debt to please people in 2026 so I took a bet.

Lots of debt to preserve their healthcare system, but they'll have to take the money somewhere else, I'm betting on public services and unemployment insurance. Plus they have a big political trial coming soon, solo I would've pumped the numbers to 1M, and even so I wouldn't say it's safe haha

absolutely fair. I don't know that much about France tbh and from my little research I had only trivial predictions. I wanted something a bit more risky. We will see how it goes :)
