Long-term care is built on a house of cards and only massive socialism will allow for all of the olds to get the care they need. The alternative is that euthanasia will become very popular.

As your attention begins to wander, gazing out the only window in your one-room housing unit, your Google Home comes to life. "THE POD APPROACHES." You grab your facemask and sprint from the table, you know you can't be late for your shift like last time--the social oversight worker has already threatened to replace your spouse with a Puerto Rican penis-person. Walking outside, the sunlight disorients you--the new indoor LEDs hardly provide more than flicker--and you misstep into the street. Just then, the self-driving Tesla Pod™ runs over your foot. It's likely broken, but you know if you go to the ER it could mean 5-6 days in the waiting room.

You get into the pod with a dozen or so others, and take a seat alongside your neighbor Steven. You both worked together at the firm pre-COVID. "Just two more weeks!" he joked, pointing at his mask--the same joke he's said to you each day for the past 9 years.

As you take the 90 minute ride in the Tesla Pod™ to work, you hardly notice the severe pain your foot is in. The CDC had just mandated another vaccine after discovering a new variant, ZZZEX (they had already gone through the alphabet several times over naming them), and the swelling of the injection site on your arm had yet to go down.

You arrive at the firm downtown at 8:47am. Two minutes late.

You're dreading the lashing you'll get from LaQuisha, your boss since the passing of the Reparations Act of 2027. She used to be your assistant, and it will be another 150 years until she is your subordinate again.

You settle in at your table in the open-office space and begin work. Your job is processing refugee and migrant applications and making sure each is approved (your pay is docked 50,000 yuan for each that isn't), and that the new citizens receive their Amazon gift cards and housing assignment.

At 8:30pm it is time to go back to the housing unit. You're exhausted after processing 841 applications--a personal best.

As you look out into the night sky, you see a Blue Origin rocket taking the latest batch of miners to the Moon Colony. You've applied for a spot several times before. Not because you actually want to go to the Colony. But because you know there is at least a 10% chance the rocket will explode on lift off.

Urban conflict escalated to the point that leftists would routinely assassinate executives - e.g., from Ford and Peugeot. They bombed Xerox and Pepsi factories.

Right wingers killed union leaders, etc.

The political fault lines would be drawn differently, of course, but imho serious urban conflict of that kind has a likelihood higher than 15% in the next 20 years
