2050 will be the decade when most of us will be retired. What are your predictions for the world then?

It'll be even dumber and worse for most people.
Can you give an example of that, the dumber & worse aspect for people?
The politics are probably going to be even more performative and cruel, basic necessities like food and rent will continue to expand drastically past wages, entire industries will run aground AI and other stupid bullshit that companies will embrace wholeheartedly despite being bad for the goods and services they make because they get to cut workforce and boost stock price, and headlines will read something like "President dances with Nick Jonas Jr. on FaceTock to raise awareness of water shortages over the entire West Coast and southwest US" and "Supreme Court repeals labor act; world's first quadrillionaire hails it as 'return to fiscal freedom'" or some shit like that.
A few years ago I heard a joke:
The factory at the edge of town is fully automated, and it has two employees.
It employs a security guard, and a guard dog.
The security guards job is to feed the guard dog. The guard dogs job is to keep the security guard away from the machines.

Cleaned up the last sentence due to duplicate words.
Got it, thanks for the examples
