RE: 2030: Are You Ready For 50% Unemployment?
The US is doing well at the moment... but being the world leader in oil production, in a time where EVs are getting faster, cheaper, safer, more exciting and more automated is not a great idea. I think states like Louisiana (huge number of refineries subsidized by the state) are in for a whole lot of pain over the next two years.
Louisiana also has another big problem:
The state economy relies on slave labor provided by prisoners.
The system is highly racist and give harsh sentences. The more we roll back the War on Drugs and Mandatory Minimum Sentences the more this directly hurts their economy.
Our unbelievably fucked up dependency on slavery and war will be our undoing.
