15. It'll be worse than the great depressionn
As times have moved on in the world at large.

Poverty will be much greater given absolute numbers and the increased population.

The bankrupt national government will create a greater autonomy in this with states, likely. The BFEE would not countenance a great society, leaving it to states to make the difference.

I think the result could very well be a massive lashback of states independence and antagonism with the bankrupt federal.

The national example is india and china. That is the future they're shooting at in my seeing... massive dirt poor poverty and a divine acceptance that it is the will of god... like in the olde caste system.

Prolesunited use of that word "caste" is, IMO, quite appropriate.
