I’m not any of it, but I do support it.
Mentioning climate change. Seems every government is backtracking on it.

Liberty and privacy. And it will take way less than 50 years.
Driving your own car.
But not in a good way. You’re expected to just die.
Disagree on the last part. They want to erode ownership. Driving will be a subscription of some sort.
Poors will be priced out by insurance companies. A large auto manufacturer, probably Tesla will buy one of the enormous insurers and start by offering lower rates for self-driving. Many will sign up and the standard startup playbook will follow. Personal vehicles will become luxury items and then you will be required to subscribe.
I wonder what the poor right will say when they don’t own their car anymore?maybe they will have f350 self-driving trucks too and it’ll be ok.
I’m hesitant to call what they are doing owning anyway, re: their trucks. Most people who drive those idiotic money pits are so far underwater on their loans I only have pity for them. I know people who have taken out 8 year loans on 70-80 thousand dollar trucks. Loans so high in interest and so long that they probably will never pay it off - to me the bank owns it 100%. I think most of them will gladly hand over their ownership if they can still feel “manly” by pretending their huge truck makes up for their own masculinity issues.
It’s insane how much trucks have skyrocketed in price! My wife’s job occasionally needs a truck so we had considered one as our second vehicle years ago and ended up figuring it was cheaper to own a car counting total cost of ownership unless we used the bed/hitch more than 3 times a week and that was at 40-50k… it’s like they’re allergic to money.
That’s my big thing. They always claim they need a truck to do truck things, but the vast amount of truck beds I see are empty. I don’t own a truck, but still need to do truck things sometimes. When I do I pay around 40 bucks to rent one for the day, do all my truck things, then return it. Idk, maybe I’m crazy but I’ve spent maybe a few hundred doing that, that seems like a better deal than 80k
Exactly! When we gamed out the cost, it was almost double for the loan. Oil changes cost double (there’s your $40 every 3-6months), and the parts were vastly more expensive. So we only pulled even renting a truck a 3x a week. At 80k I’d need to be pulling something daily more than 10 miles 7 days a week to beat the cost of renting a vehicle.
Nevermind there’s basically nothing I can buy that can’t be delivered from say Home Depot without me needing a truck.
Same, same. Even with high delivery fees it’s still worth just paying them vs buying a truck. Unless you need lumber delivered daily, then it doesn’t matter.
I off-road camp do bees hunt and I’m only me why would I want a second vehicle. The stuff I do can be messy and hard to clean especially the bees. Are you going to see my box empty probably doesn’t mean it isn’t used and also doesn’t mean I don’t use my truck for other things. A car can’t do.
Okay, still as other people said, unless you literally carry things 4+ times a day financially it doesn’t make sense to buy a new truck, so that hasn’t changed.
I’ll counter argue! Felt the same about these monster Barbie trucks here in the South. Working Lowe’s for a few months changed my mind a bit.
Guys would pull in with these monsters hauling a trailer. And we would load hella rocks and boards. Laughed with the customer and lumber guy one night, “You gonna need to come back for the rest tomorrow!”
But still, I get it. My wife’s Outback has a trailer hitch and I’m not afraid of pulling on it. Towed my boat home with a Mitsubishi Eclipse. Used to ride with the top down and a load of lumber in the back!
I would hope being rich, but I’m not counting on it.
Being poor is already pretty illegal with no signs of changing
In the US: Not wholly illegal but I predict erosion of the 4th amendment under the guise of keeping the country safe. I predict the definition of a “reasonable” search and seizure will expand.
Across the world: as someone else mentioned, encryption is going to start getting a lot more attention as well.
I also predict erosion of 2nd Amendment for non-whites
You mean like the black panthers and the nra?
fingers crossed for child marriage becoming illegal (and in less than 50 years. the sooner the better)
If right-wing nutjobs keep running the government I am going to say “birth control” and “sodomy” are on the chopping block. Hopefully by 50 years this won’t still be the issue but its what they want now. Just to note that the old “sodomy” laws made everything that wasn’t PIV illegal. So if you like oral sex that will be illegal now. Sorry everyone no more fun
Unlocking your bootloader
🇪🇺 By October it will be illegal to view porn with an unlocked bootloader
Living in an “unchristian” way in any form, be it being an atheist, LGBTQ+, etc.
This is what arson is for.
Literally anything given that time period
“The year is 2075. Yesterday was the day the last legal thing became illegal. And what was the last legal thing, you ask? The answer is obvious in retrospect. It was law itself.”
Not “everything”. Anything.
Positive: ecocide universally accepted as criminal and backed up with meaningfully disincentivising penalties
Negative: being remotely off grid in any way. Probably a symptom of me being British, but I fully expect there to be a point where we’re required to be constantly tracked (location, what you consume, what you see, etc) in real time and it’ll become a crime to evade it.

I hope so. But I find it hard to believe that enough world leaders are clean to get that thru. So much of what is weird in the news today makes perfect sense if I add these words to the end of the headline: “after a coke binge”.
