I don’t know. Me thinks the future is kinda promising. At least from a society point of view. Social media seems to be making a pretty big impact on influencing social policy.
Take for instance this new indiana religious freedom law. There’s so much outcry of it, politicians now are backpeddling to undo it.
An ex-CFO who went into a chick-fil-a that verbally abused some poor minimum wage worker about what a terrible thing chick-fil-a was in not supporting gay rights and attacking her verbally for working there met a social media uproar to the point that he can’t find a job, with his name all over the internet.
Maybe this social media thing will allow for things to move towards a populist viewpoint, for better or worse…
Modern day social shaming for bullies and bullying policies. Might not be such a bad thing.
The only problem I see is that financially responsible people in the U.S. are in the minority. I don’t know what that says for those of us that are financially responsible in the future. Maybe it’s a good thing to pretend to act poor and financially irresponsible..You know, to blend in.
And the great news is at least for me, there’s always richer people I can point the finger at and say “it’s their fault..I’m just a middle class salary slave that drives a POS 20 year old miata”….(pay no attention to the man behind the curtain and never mind what was spent on upgrades…Besides, I charged all that, am making $20 minimum finance payments on a 20+%APR credit line…
Damn those evil 1% rich people that control 90% of this country’s wealth and their banks…..:) )
