like even ignoring the worst-case scenarios we're set for crises in the immediate future that will dwarf the "cost-of-living crisis" of 2022-23 and the pandemic. but basically the vast majority of people are just hoping that it'll all be fine and we'll go back to how things were in the 90s if we have some Good Government. it's going to be interesting to see how the masses respond to this situation, which they have been repeatedly informed of for decades now, but which they still don't understand.

I have pegged around that time to be the peak. At least from a technological standpoint.

With the exception of medical tech, it seems that most "advancements" in the last 10 years haven't represented actual quality of life improvements for the average person. Instead, they have been ways for corporations and governments to extract more money from us, gather more information, and exert more control.
