America in 2045, 30 years from now. What will america look like?

Will there be amazing technologies that have fundamentally changed and enriched our lives?
Will there be a revolution that ruined much of this country and its economy?
will America still be the sole superpower, even if it is declining?
Will America have reduced its involvement in Asia, e.g., leaving Taiwan up to China.
Will America have a large poor class fending for themselves in alcoholism, anger, violence, and misery?
Will some states hae seceded from the Union?
Will there be out migration from the United states?
Or will we be about the same economically or better off?

Discuss.

I am still waiting for the moving sidewalks we were supposed to get by 1970. I am 67 and have no idea.

Sorry, I just realized you are the same depressed individual who suffers by living in Portland, Oregon. You need to get out of there and find a place where people have some get up and go and accomplish more than deciding which recycle bin to use for bottle caps as opposed to bottles themselves.

1.) Technologies will DOMINATE society, matter of fact, you will have more robots doing what humans are doing right now, further pushing humans out of the Specialized Skill marketplace and further creating a divide between the HAVEs and the HAVE NOTs. In a nutshell, Technology will further automate operations creating a higher demand for those with specialized skills and higher education, and pushing those with low skills and low amounts of education out of the market.

2.) The far left will take over CULTURE. The far left in terms of the victim mentality, feminism, the further breakdown of the family, etc. The country will go from a "Center" country to a Center left country, to a Leftist country. Now, this shift will occur in CULTURE but expect those with the resources to still have a conservative foundation, but again, they will represent the HAVEs which will be much smaller in number. Far left politics does NOT hurt people with resources for the most part, it hurts the people without them.

3.) America isn't the sole superpower right now.

4.) America will reduce its hold on the world.

5.) See point 2.

6.) No

7.) YES, the HAVEs will be in demand all over the country, so expect America to get filled more and more with the far left victimhood people (ghetto blacks, white trash, single mothers, welfare queens, criminals, etc) while those that are the HAVEs will be dual citizens living sometimes in the US and outside of it.

8.) If you are apart of the HAVEs and embrace the Specialized Skill economy, you will be VERY WELL OF. If you aren't, you will never have enough and continue to march around about how "the man" is screwing you over.

If the left takes over, it won't be just culture. People will vote in economic policies. So if you are the haves , how will you not be affected?
