13. Doesn't look pretty in red areas.

Vast majority of children when they grow up rebel against their parents religious fanaticism, granted this anecdotal, but I've seen it happen many times and I'm also one of them. The younger generation that is embracing religious fanatacism and having kids are going to be in one hell of a wake up call. Odd thing is, those embracing it were once slackers, barely got by in school, ditched class to party where underage drinking was looked the other way, girls had abortions. Now they act like Nuns and Priests. I know some are moving to red states because of "religion", but in economic reality, they lack the job skills that are required to earn a decent income.

Who knows, we may see more citizens doing immigrant jobs. Universities and colleges may close in red states due to a lack of students qualified. A rise in crime in those areas as well.

In the future, with the exception of blue states (and they are doubling down on education), they will be the ones with the skilled and technical labor. Problem is, its not going to be enough to fill, we have shortages as it is. A previous manager who was trying to hire someone with out doing the H1B paperwork was looking for almost a year to find an anlaytics professional until he decided to bite the bullet. When I left, I was picked up in less than two weeks.
