The average person has no idea how bad this is going to be for the future. It will only come into full effect when the boomers start leaving. You're going to see people check out, people committing crimes, and the system going into full nuclear mode. Dating is going to be 100x worse, hookups will be more normalized as no man will want to commit to a woman, and the gender war will increase. Nobody will ever own a house unless they're willing to become a debt slave to the banks for their entire life, you can not 'save' yourself to a house. The more men check out from the system, the fewer stakes they will have in society, meaning they will have no problem watching it all collapse. Some of them will have businesses online, others will just do nothing. Nobody will protect their land or care about improving the world because they won't care about improving themselves to begin with given they have no reason to, and the system will be force to accelerate the AI production in order for it to keep the world running, which won't outpace the decline of society. This all started because the boomers essentially destroyed young men's souls. They wanted to give jobs to immigrants and create fake jobs for women in order to save money, and the side effect was the destruction of the nuclear family. They put liberal feminists in charge of hiring (HR), and you're basically relying on someone that is mentally ill to do something rational. If you think 2026 is bad, wait until you see 2030+. It's going to hit the world like a tsunami. I just hope people are ready by then. But will also say this; if you don't own a business or don't make money online, you're essentially fucked because these fake jobs will get eliminated by AI, feminists will all get booted from the workplace, and the more people check out from society as a whole, the more appealing it will become to get together with a group and do your own thing. The 'traditional route' of school -> college - > house -> good wife, no longer works. Adapt to the new world or play by the old rules and lose, choice is yours.
