Like today, but more so.

More dysfunctional politics, more geopolitical (inter-state) friction, more weather, more inequality, more housing crisis, more suicides, more siloing. More HR, more surveillance. More PV electricity farms, not as many more EVs as optimists were predicting last year. Ditto robots. Fewer opinion writers masquerading as journalists, I hope. Worse infrastructure, more oppressive laws controlling action and speech.

+1. I've always described this phenomenon as "everything you love will get better but everything you hate will get worse."
That seems incredibly pessimistic. Hopefully that's not how it goes. What should we be optimistic about?
