within the next decade?

We're already most of the way there. Inept, Incompetent, and overtly corrupt governments engraging the population homelessness, unemployment, unpopular immigration and costs of necessities going haywire trade wars brewing, Oh, and World War III is basically already in it's pre-game show stage with the fighting in Europe.

I'm at the point where Im expecting it any day. the US is just one bad move away from causing an all out revolt, because part of its population rightly thinks that the new admnistration is full of mobsters, tyrants, and fascists.

Well, this has been known for decades, the Club or Rome's report (Limits of Growth) predicted this in the 1970s. Here's a graphic from 2004:

We need UBI (Universal Basic Income) or people are going to not be able to afford basic commodities any more. We already see working poor, it's gonna get worse. Demand UBI.

I can think of a couple of ways to fix that.

"within the next decade" sounds like an unnecessarily long view on it. Next Christmas will come within the next decade too but it doesn't mean it'll be 10 years from now.

The participants identified a negative feedback loop, whereby the government’s failure to tax wealth effectively means it lacks sufficient revenue to uphold the social contract by which strong public services, an effective social safety net and a healthy economy provide people with decent living standards.

Trust in politics then declines further, politicians avoid honest discussions of the underlying problems and what to do about them, and the system’s legitimacy is increasingly questioned as the social contract collapses.

That's a nice story, but there's been plenty of even less egalitarian societies. Pretty much all of the ones in written history, actually.

More likely, in the short term a new, more coercive "social contract" will be rotated in (if the trend continues). Heck, we're already seeing it a bit in the US. Now showing fealty to the president is more important than public relations for a lot of companies and billionaires.

You know, revolution is not the same as collapse.

Already there.

Good

The ownership class reading this: “…the training wheels are coming off, boys. It’s time we really kick this thing into high gear. We’re running out of time. Get your affairs in order—and by that I mean pick which if your mistresses will be your concubines on your floating golden fortress.”

“Understood.”

The group: “‘we’re the fuckin worst’ on three—one, two, three!

All:

“WE’RE THE FUCKING WORST!”

Generic white guy #1: “Alright, good hustle. Now go out there and fuckin murder some lower class people! This death machine ain’t gonna run itself! lol obviously im kidding, we were born into a machine that already runs itself and we were just the dumb lucky bastards born into the positions we’re in. But we deserve it!

Generic white guy #12: woah, Tom, you thought a little too much there. I’m afraid…we’re gonna have to take away the “#1” from your position. We worked hard to get where we are today! Don’t you EVER suggest there is an inherent flaw in a hierarchical system! You will be punished severely for even MAKING a reference to some FAKE injustice in our system! You are now #4. Other Tom, congratulations, now you’re #1. You must be very proud to hold this position.

Previously Generic white guy #4: this is an honor. I deserve this.

$1Trillion dollars wiped off the stock market? NBD, just push the AI more, so we can be free from the labour(ers). So cooked.

So why don't we just eat the rich? Why can't we do the gamestop stock thing again at a bigger scale?

For the US, my guess is: within the next 4 years. Inflation will be insane. Lets hope blue collar can organize and leverage the situation.

pretty sure they said the same ting 10 years ago
