The downstream side of the pipe

Much change is going on around the world, including the USA.

This change may affect me, but for sure it will probably affect my children and grandchildren. Such is life I guess.

The status quo of the last 100 years or so is changing, both politically, and business style.

Just how the present dinosaur political parties adjust is what is going to be different. Friction to change takes time, and time is on the side of those who want to live, and adjust. Think long term, like 10 or even 30 years.

The present friction in our elected Federal politicians in the USA is a classic example. They don't agree much, and it will impact us in the next few years, I think. After all, there are two visions for how the new world USA should go forward, and I sure hope we common citizens can still vote about what we think. I just hope no one side tries to dictate their opinion and rule kind of like a dictatorship or royalty. Then things will hit the fan, so to speak.

So what is it going to be like on the downstream side of the pipe in the next 100 years?

The quick and obvious answer is that nobody knows.

But here is a guess.

The way the world has run will change, mostly in good ways.

The bad ways include things like nuclear wars in many places, to include Asia, and the downstream side of things will be bad for a long time. Sometimes this friction will come from civil war, vice country war. And many people will die.

And then there are proverbial things like what the earth and space may do to the earth. Call them wild card type things.

So my bottom line is to respect our progeny, and let them sort it out as best they can. And I sure hope they also still have a vote in the new world USA. At the end of the pipe, of course.
