My prediction is that, in 10 years, the US will be better than it is today, and people will be complaining about how bad it is and worrying about what it will be like in another 10 years.
This!! The world is living better than EVER before. There is a much higher standard of living, better education, and more access to healthcare. Yes, it's not perfect. So in 10 years it will be even better and the sad depressives will be talking about doom. Stop, take a look around and be grateful.
Yeah except for the first time we are actually going backwards.

Global warming is really the only challenge we face now that we've never seen before. And it's a big one. The vast majority of Americans spend much more time worrying about problems that are relatively minor in comparison.
