I keep wondering how they can still stay in business when nobody predicted the pandemic and all its effects.

I remember back in the late 80s and early 90s, fortune tellers were everywhere in Shinjuku, and they were used almost exclusively by women. When I talked to some friends about seeing a fortune teller, they said that they didn't really believe in fortune telling, it was just that they wanted someone to talk to about their problems. Someone not related to them or their problems.

Speaks for itself, no fortune to tell nowadays…

Plenty of people have been predicting pandemics like this for years.

That would be worse, failing to predict the pandemic would obviously show the person has no ability to predict the future, but falsely predicting world changing pandemics every year would be even more obvious.

I always preferred Wheel of Fortune.
