What will define the 20's in the US? (1 Viewer)

[SystemShock]

The Pronoun War, in which millions will die.

 

[Eeyore]

A combination of the anti-science movement, anti-vaccine movement, melting permafrost, increased temperatures, and limited access to healthcare, causing health epidemics.

I predict another Civil War this decade. The political climate is far too polarized right now with news outlets and politicians openly lying or reporting falsehoods. People are too insulated in their own worlds and sources of information that anything counter is immediately dismissed as Fake News without any logical rationalization.

Maybe, but I think if it came down to killing each other, we’d realize that pronouns, Merry Christmas, and a wall across the border aren’t really worth killing each other over. I’d hope.

Wait...did you seriously just say “merry Christmas?!?!?”

Meh. I think folks in America are too lazy to engage in a civil war. Civil war on Facebook by shirtposters maybe, but that's been ongoing

alexa is already a telescreen being used by big brother.

As long as big brother keeps sending us our crap on time we’ll be fine with it.

I didn't read any of this thread because I don't want to know if anyone else has made my predictions.

But I think the '20s will be known for:

Flappers
Prohibition (and the rise of organized crime associated with it)
New production techniques that bring the cost of labor-saving machines down to prices affordable by many Americans, like automatic laundry machines and even auto-mobiles!

Technically, the cusp is this time next year. Decades run 1-10, not 0-9.

The same mistake that led to the cancellation of the Newmannium and the Krammennium.

I think we will see autonomic 3D construction become mainstream and fusion power become viable leading to an economic crisis from the loss of jobs
