I honestly think it'll implode in a few decades. The wage gap will continue to grow, we'll get charged more for less, and the minimum wage won't go up much at all. Conservatives will continue to blame everything on anyone else they can (like immigrants). And I think at some point things will just... break. I'm not sure what it'll look like, but I think it's going to be ugly. Things will get much worse before they get better.

I'm normally a pretty upbeat, positive guy, but I'm not sure how else this could realistically go down.
