the United States is changing these days the changes that are happening are on a level of
change we haven't seen since like post-war America and probably the early days of the.com era back in
the day we had to sort of wait until after the time or era had happened to realize how big of
a deal it actually was these days with media like YouTube Facebook Tick Tock and threads we
see our world changing in real time when you do research for a living like I do you start
to see things happening and you notice Trends as the trends evolve you start to have opinions and
predictions on where they'll be in the future like this mechanic one time this is a perfect example a
mechanic one time in the late 80s or early 90s was talking about cruise control and he said Cruise
control's just the beginning by the time you're my age cars will drive themselves and here we are
he worked on cars every day and he could see where things were going he noticed the trends and he had
his opinions and in this case it was very accurate in today's video I'm giving you my prediction
on things that will happen within the next five years when we have our 2028 presidential election
we will be living in a different America by then I'm sure these are just my predictions based on
the knowledge that I've picked up over the last handful of years doing these videos If you see
things differently I would love to hear about it in the comments section below what predictions do
you have which ones do you think I got wrong these aren't facts this is just a conversation alright
here are the things I think will happen by the 2028 election got it get it good let's take a look
number 10 the political landscape the political landscape in the United States will become more
polarized the current political climate in the United States is already quite divided and this
trend will likely continue in the coming years it's already incredibly toxic in Washington DC
and even at the state level probably really hard to believe it'll get much worse but it will as
the two major political parties become more and more entrenched in their respective ideologies
it will become increasingly difficult to find any Common Ground getting anything done between
these two parties right now has become about as difficult as giving a porcupine a back rub
this of course will lead to more gridlock in the government and make it more difficult to
address important issues in my opinion I think we'll see a third party come into power maybe
not by 2028 but I would bet within the next decade I don't think it'll be a new party out
of nowhere I honestly think the major parties at least one of them will split both parties
now have these extremists and they used to be like fringed characters in politics six that
nobody really paid attention to now because of social media they're in the Forefront
number nine manufacturing will make a comeback this one is already in play different companies
have been pulling manufacturing out of China at a faster Pace every single year different
corporations in the United States are seeing cheap labor isn't all it's cracked up to be when
I was at Nike they were pulling manufacturing for their newer shoes back to the US because
of people you know stealing design copyright issues and you know all of a sudden everyone's
got their Tech and believe it or not there's a lot of tech that goes into shoe making that's
just one example I've heard Adidas has done the same thing along with different computer
manufacturers now there's a few other reasons this is happening obviously China being the
biggest in the world of manufacturing I mean they got cheap labor and plenty of people but
in recent years China's been kind of taking a hit on the world stage with all their problems
they're having with Taiwan that right now has the potential to turn into an armed conflict
and that'll Force the U.S to put sanctions on China and maybe even stop or limit what
companies can do business-wise in China there's one other another thing during the pandemic we
realized some of the products we need were only made in China medical supplies were a big one
the masks that they really wanted everyone to have we didn't have enough and we had to get
them from China well everyone now was ordering from China and we were kind of at their Mercy
because we didn't have the systems in place to start producing some of the medical supplies
that were desperately needed it took months for U.S companies to start producing what was needed
number eight the U.S will become more diverse the United States is already
a very diverse country and this diversity is only expected to increase in the coming
years as more immigrants come to the United States the country's population will become
more ethnically and racially diverse this could lead to challenges such as language barriers
cultural clashes but it could also lead to New Opportunities and more vibrant Society
number seven the environment will continue to deteriorate climate change is already having
significant impact on the environment and this impact is only expected to get worse
in the coming years there's still a lot of people out there that don't believe
this is happening at all but statistically and the math is there it is happening the
only thing that's up for discussion is how much of an impact humans are having on the
natural climate change and I get that we've had climate change since before the dinosaurs
but this time around we have giant cities on the coastline and as the water rises these
cities will be affected in a big way this is going to happen next year or next five years
no will Miami be underwater by 2028 absolutely not if that does happen in worst case scenario
it'll be like 80 years from now whenever you bring that up someone's got to bring up the
fact that Obama bought a coastal piece of property like that's their defense if the
water is rising white Obama buy beachfront property because it'll be 80 to 100 Years be
before his property is underwater at a worst case scenario he won't be here then none of us will be
number six technology will continue to advance rapidly technology is advancing
at an unprecedented pace and this tread is not expected to change anytime soon new technologies
such as artificial intelligence robotics Gene editing are already having major impact on our
lives and this impact is only expected to grow in the coming years think of the major
technological advances we've made in most of our lifetime people are getting picked
up for murders that they committed 40 years ago because of DNA evidence family member decides to
figure out what part of Europe they came from one thing leads to another and the police are
at the door of your condo in Boca talking about a waitress you knew when you were 22.
these Technologies could have both positive and negative impacts and is important to be
aware of both the potential benefits and the risks obviously Ai and automation are a big
risk but they're also incredibly useful that sort of leads us into the next one
number five the job market will continue to change the nature of work is changing
rapidly and this trend is not expected to change anytime soon the automation of many
jobs is already underway and this could lead to widespread job losses in the coming years
but at the same time new jobs are being created in the technology sector and other Industries
normally to work on Automation and AI this also has a great potential to lead to more
uneven distribution of wealth as those with the skills to succeed in the new economy will do so
While others who are left behind could struggle I'm kind of the exception to the rule because I'm
very involved in Tech but I'm in my 50s if this all went away tomorrow and I had to re-enter the
workforce and all they got are jobs working with robotics and AI I'm screwed but I honestly think
the job market in the United States by 2028 will be extremely different than it is today
I honestly think car salesmen will be a thing of the asked by then or if not soon after just
one example I mean last car I got I went in and told him exactly what I want I actually
got online told them what I wanted they had it there I went in signed some paper problem solved
number four a shift in global Affairs the United States has been a major player in global Affairs
for many years and this role is likely to continue in the coming years but differently most of our
involvement in global Affairs at least what we see has been in military intervention in
my life there was the end of the Vietnam War we invaded Grenada invaded Panama Somalia Iraq
Afghanistan and I'm sure a whole bunch of smaller conflicts none of us know about that's where I
see the change happening we're no longer going to be putting boots on the ground so to speak
in every little conflict around the globe I'm sure we will continue to defend our allies and
support them what I think where the change is we will closely work with other countries to
address common challenges things like drought food shortages internet infrastructure normal
infrastructure I also see us pulling away from the Middle East in a big way I mean
I don't think our foreign oil dependencies gonna end before 1 28 but I think that's on
the horizon and I think we're going to be less involved in the Middle East because of that
number three more of a consumer Society the United States is already a consumer Society
but this trend will likely continue in the coming years the rise of online shopping will Doom us
all it's just too easy and half of us lack the control not to buy way more than we need
I'm one of them I own a pink Darth Vader Funko statue I bought at 2AM and rushed the delivery
for some freaking reason I'm not an outlier half the United States is just like that I
mean I don't know if everyone's into pink Darth Vader's but other things they're shopping for
number two we'll become more of a service economy the United States traditionally has
been a manufacturing economy sure China got a lot of our manufacturing but we still had a
ton like I said earlier some manufacturing is coming back but it's never going to be at the
levels that we had it back in the 1950s and 40s and the manufacturing jobs that do come
back a lot of them will be automated and this will put more and more people into service in
Creative Industries mostly service mechanics electricians plumbers Health Care automation
repair guys machines will replace a lot of us but someone's got to keep those machines going
we haven't got to the point yet where they're fixing themselves past a computer defragging
the hard drive and getting rid of viruses I'm sure someone's going to have some other
examples and try and prove me wrong but on a grand scale machines aren't fixing themselves
yet in my opinion I think the future for most of our kids or our grandkids will be in Industries
like Plumbing electrical Health Care those Industries will need bodies and in most cases
they're really not about bad living at all one thing a lot of people believe will go away is
truck driving I don't think that's really a thing I don't think delivery service is going
to be automated anytime soon especially when it comes to truck driving that's a couple Generations
away that's because companies don't want to get too involved in something like that where if it
like I don't know a truck kills someone you'll have serious backlash from the government and
the people and No One's Gonna invest billions in robot diesel trucks that could be grounded every
time there's an accident you know people will get upset about the government get upset about
it but then they'll sort of ignore that accidents happen all the time and I'm sure if you looked at
the ntsb's data semi trucks are killing a couple people every single day at a minimum thousands
and thousands of people get killed every year on our roads but human error is a little easier to
accept than a robot killing an Oompa band on the way to an Oktoberfest in Wisconsin
all right before we get to number one we have a new YouTube channel it is called The Suite Life
for Briggs the video that's up there right now explains what's going on with it but it's all
about traveling on cruise ships and in hotels and staying in the nicest rooms and I'm paying for
all those rooms so I'd appreciate if you went over and subscribed alright on to number one
and number one less College more trade school I think college is great let's get that out of
the way I think it's a great path to be on into your adulthood I think everyone should go but
not everyone can now theoretically yes I can I know someone's gonna say that anyone can go to
college yeah theoretically everyone can but here in the real world people can't afford it some
people don't have the drive to attend four-year college and many Americans didn't have the home
life that would have given them the life skills to get on that path on top of all that you have
just the extreme costs student loans worthless degrees and of course the political fighting
about what's being taught in the college and university systems I think people will be opting
for trade schools more and more in the coming years like I've said before nothing wrong with
being electrician a plumber Carpenter mechanic whatever I'll just give you one example if you're
a journeyman electrician here in the Oregon area your salary can be somewhere between 55
000 and 110 000 Accord into glass door in States like Mississippi that's 45 000 to about 85 000.
in Mississippi that is not bad money if you start your own electrician business you could make even
more I can't tell you how many people I worked with at Netflix that had four-year degrees and
they were working at Netflix I can't think of one I ever worked with that went to a trade school was
working at Netflix or any call center don't get me wrong if you do college that's great I just
think too many people go to college they just do it because that's what they were told that's what
you do you go to college then they get out and they do nothing with the degree and they're in
debt I think for many years we were force-fed just the rose-colored glasses version of what
goes on in college and what happens afterwards I think all those are going to lead more people to
trade schools and I honestly believe universities will see a drop in attendance now this one I think
has the biggest potential for me to be 100 wrong but I also think it has the potential to be one of
the most impactful that's why it's number one all right that's today's video a little bit different
a little bit weird hope you guys enjoyed it hope you got some information out of it don't forget
to leave some comments down below tell me what you think have a great day be nice to each other
