Some conditional predictions
In the spirit of the Future Scale, here are some conditional predictions for the medium-term future:
If the Democrats gain control of the White House and Congress and subsequently reinstate the Fairness Doctrine, religious conservatives will use it against them in unexpected ways.
If income taxes are raised on those making between $100,000 and $1,000,000 per year, the effect will be to discourage people aspiring to those incomes more so than to discourage those actually earning those incomes.
If dramatic changes and labor adjustments don't happen soon at the Big Three Detroit automakers, at least one of them won't be around in recognizable form within ten years.
If the US doesn't stop adding to the Federal debt, creditor nations are going to use that debt as a tool of political leverage against us. China, for instance, isn't going to institute the labor and environmental standards our government might request if we still owe their government hundreds of billions of dollars.
