My kid's generation doesn't really have a shred of hope, does it?

11. Sadly, our politicians do not address the future of the US in these areas. We are clearly

moving toward a jobless society. I studied that in economics decades ago. The professor I had spent a lot of time on this topic. Many saw what would be happening if one extrapolated current trends then into the future. Politicians are often riding on the seat of their pants, because often they are in a balancing act trying to prop up current economic conditions, and then some just don't care as long as they and their cronies are being well served by the economic system.

One significant problem with America IMO is it has always been about competition and often cooperation toward a better country takes a back seat. And, of course, the "Protestant Work Ethic" is destroying the US, as the masses are always fed the garbage that their financial situation is all of their fault.

I am hopeful the youth of today will flush out the old system's modus operandi. What I do see happening in the future are large upheavals in the status quo as millions and millions more get displaced. Often, white collar workers, for example, thought they were immune to all of this. Now, many are finding they can be easily displaced.

My observations are often little seems to happen in America without a major crisis. I think we will see a major crisis in the future that might avoid a dystopia.

If I were young today, I would try to find a career path that might not be easily displaced. I would also try to live frugally for the time being until some of this starts to settle out. I think many millennials are trying to do this.
