Out of curiosity, If that storm comes, what do you predict will happen? I've been very curious what folks think is going to happen if the above becomes very true.
It seems like jobs that require you to do something with your hands will be relatively more valuable than they are today. There will always be white collar jobs, but I suspect the pay and status associated will go down.
We go the road of the UK. At some point the billionaires finish their ransacking and all flee the US. GDP plummets, we hit a depression. We recover but pretty much lose the de facto superpower status.
Things keep creeping on but the struggle is real. And then we go the Germany route (again). We have the second coming of Donald Trump voted in promising to bring prosperity, but this one isn't just satisified with stroking his ego. So we initiate WWIII.
Depending on how that escalates or not is well beyond my abilities to guess. We could end up with a mass extinction that ends this era of civilization, we could be taken over by the rest of the world and have land diverted to various parts of the EU and Asia.
