Automation. Considering most of you are young adults, some even still in highschool, this is going to be a issue for you. Automation is going to fundamentally change the economy you find yourselves in as adults in this next few decades.
If our leadership isnt proactive, and our society isn't looking forward and staying ahead of the curve, our country will find itself in the middle of a massively growing unemployment crisis.
Look at our current political landscape. Promising to bring back coal jobs? Those jobs are gone and not coming back. The idea that we can draw the present to the past is foolish, yet its promised all the time.
The best part is, that nobody bats an eye.
It's going to be a question that must be addressed. Do we keep trying to hold onto the economic climate of the past? How do we move ahead to economic climate of the future? It may not be some drastic crisis, but it is going to be become and issue and quickly.

Edited by Arashi Sora: 11/9/2016 4:13:16 AMUBI(universal basic income) is going to become mandatory for humanity's survival. If all the poor and middle class lose their jobs, no more consumers to fuel the 1%. I predict that probably won't be for a long time though. We'll probably have a near market collapse and tens of thousands of deaths from people not being able to afford medicine before the west over gives up their capitalistic ways. Hell, the rich may not realize until it's too late the whole economy crashes and burns. Something will have to give at some point.
