I have been a man who has, in the past, had some eerily accurate "visions" of the future, often years in advance of what ultimately came to pass . . . I predicted, for example, the housing crash and banking crisis way before they happened as well as the rise of white nationalism in both the EU and United States; I described flat screen TV's, digital photography and photoshop, the extensive use of wireless technology when these were seen as science fiction, something #impossible . . . things I talked about, I would later see described as something "no one could have predicted"
but, that's not true because truth is, I PREDICTED them anywhere from 2-10 years before they happened
and so, another #vision of how if may be
. . . how DARK can it go ?? . . . let's say that administrative costs for hospitals become such that small, rural communities will no longer be seen as cost-effective and existing health care services simply shut down
as the tariffs continue, likely for quite a while, what happens to farmers and rural suppliers when the subsidies dry up or run out . . . farmers working at a loss will simply fold, their farms repossessed and the surrounding communities no longer able to sustain basic services or mom + pop businesses -- family restaurants, insurance agents, dry cleaners, etc etc
another likely issue arising from an ongoing trade war with China is what happens if cell providers using equipment from Huawei, for example, have to replace existing towers and cable? No one is going to jump in to do this as the upfront costs are greater than the immediate returns . . . translated: some rural customers may no longer have workable cell phones
as these areas became less self-sustaining and current tax revenues shrink, where does the money come from to maintain county roads . . . who pays the light bill for the post office or salaries for teachers
in a truly worst case scenario -- but (to me) not so far fetched, either
large areas of the country are simply roped off, ghost towns, no man's lands
with super highways and services running down the middle and the surrounding countryside abandoned . . . until "absorbed" by factory farming corporations who work the land and provide on site housing for migrant labor
we're making it a dog eat dog survival of the fittest world . . . and a lot of little dogs barking about #socialism (really a mild form of Keynesian economics that served us well in the past)
will soon be eaten alive by REAL capitalists
Dark ?? yeah, it can literally and metaphorically get very dark, for millions of people in the not all that distant future

when people die because they have farming accidents or their children die because of inadequate care
how much #winnng will offset that
these hospitals are going to shut down
as roads get harder to traverse and hospitals further away, more people will die
to me, this is 5-10 years away, max

And I didn't talk one of the BIGGEST ISSUES -- floods

answer: No one :(
