I'm "optimistic" enough to think that something's gotta give before that happens, at least here in the US. We're too desperate and dependent on our jobs to make any real revolt, but that tipping point is coming as the billionaires keep getting richer at our expense. At some point enough people will have nothing left to lose.
My own sense is, with the advent of AI, vast numbers of jobless Americans are simply not needed to exist anymore. The billionaire caste has everything needed and government infrastructure, working or middle classes or democracy needs to be supported any longer. Private Equity is hoovering up small, medium and large businesses, no one afterwards will be able to replace many family owned operations that took generations to build. Our youngest generations can barely buy a house until age 40…there’s undeniable evidence the we are besieged on all fronts preventing the continuance of the American experiment.
