I agree. Things will get worse over the next 15 to 20 years and people that once had a marketable skill will be replaced by automation as well so much so that even in 5 years there will be a ton of people that really aren't productive.

We already see a lot of these places in the rust belt that had their peak 40 years ago and are crumbling.

A lot of companies will make nonsense decisions by people who should have never been in power but some of them will get bailed out again by all of us unwillingly until it's so far gone things really fall apart.
