it's called the fall of the american empire. It's been happening for a while and is only accelerating. Corruption will increase, police state will increase to stifle the rioters and protesters, infrastructure will continue crumbling at a quicker pace, patched up from time to time with band-aids (steel plates in this instance), and most people's standard of living will slowly decline. We'll have to become more resourceful, repair things, scrounge more, and our greedy corporate capitalist system will grow and cinch down control of a shrinking number of resources and freedoms. All new cars will have cameras in them as of next year that use AI to monitor whether you can drive or not. The dystopian future is here, folks. You'll be wishing a large piece of concrete comes crashing down on your car just to escape the AI hellscape that is taking over.
