What Will the USA Be Like In 100 Years?

[CrusaderFrank]

Good ol' Roy. I saw his show is 1974 I think as the lead-in for the Mahavishnu Orchestra.
I always liked his effects box which looked like a big wood box with a rotating speaker in it which gave a natural reverb to his guitar.

He’s exhibit A for why “Greatest Guitar Players Evahhh!” Lists are so ridiculous

Jewish people won’t be safe much longer!

Many will have to move to Israel

Good riddance.

Roy was a master of techniques using only his fingers touching and pulling strings to affect harmonic tone that other guitarists can only do using electronic effects boxes.

His career never took off big because he simply refused to go commercial and kowtow to pressures from various record labels. Reportedly, he even turned down an offer to play with the Rolling Stones.

Good riddance.

Oh jesus. Not Trump derangement syndrome again.

Correct. Not any type of derangement. Simply still living up to supporting the US Constitution, as I always have, and knowing the President is required to support and defend the Constitution, whether he knows it or not. This is probably why he was at 39% approval (worst first hundred days in presidential history during last 60-80 years) or it could be his handling of the economy, his verbal attacks against allies, while Putin plays him like a fiddle, or maybe attacks against Medicare, Head start, NPR, news media speaking truth, the right of businesses to hire whatever lawyer they want, without them being blackmailed and extorted to support this president, or use of secret police, snatching people off the street, and shipping direct to foreign prisons without trial or even a hearing.

You fell for that stupid reporters question. Trump supports the constitution but I will tell you a president who refused. It was Biden. He did not support our Borders until at last a Court forced him to. Trump has never not supported the items you named.
Schumer and the Democrats keep lying to the public. Allies damaged this country. Trump did not send anybody to prison. The Agency sent them under their leadership.

So we’ll be like the Ogala Sioux? More or less

Or maybe like the Byzantine Empire 2.0 !

We will be surrounded by a world of Muslims and Soviets

 

[Sparker]

Some reasonable guesses can be made, based on current trends, depletion of resources, and historic patterns.

More of the western half of the 48 will be uninhabited desert. Sea level rise will probably be past inches into feet, and that will be enough to affect expensive and heavily populated land from Texas to Massachusetts, and California's Central Valley. Many coastal communities will be abandoned or moved to higher ground. Alaska will be warmer and absorbing a population shift from everywhere else becoming less habitable.

Cars will be mostly gone. Bicycles will probably exist. Most transportation will be horses, boats, and maybe some trains. Ultralight planes will be used in wars.

Some parts of the former USA may still use some form or part of the name United States of America, maybe with a language shift as English, Spanish, and other languages blend and evolve. I count around 10 nations that the USA could become. Some may merge with parts of Canada and Mexico. New England will probably merge with the Canadian Maritimes.

We are voting carefully here in Idaho and have a wonderful state. The only problem is Boise which is a nest of Democrats.

Everything North of Moscow is full of transplanted Cali-conservatives stinking up the place. Eastern Idaho is Trump country..but the people are at least sane.

Nothing wrong with Boise--they give the state some much-needed balance.

You are going to Jerusalem??

I was there in 2008

The Meaning of “Next Year in Jerusalem”

Jews of all backgrounds are familiar with the phrase “le-shanah ha-ba’ah bi-Yerushalayim,” “Next Year in Jerusalem.”[i] It makes two appearances annually in Jewish liturgy: at the conclusion of the Passover Seder and at the conclusion of the Ne’ilah service of Yom Kippur. Although the phrase...

I'll be long dead but the way things are going I figure in 100 years the USA will be some type of a balkanized union of misfits worse than the EU.

At best maybe like current Brazil......A mix of Africa, European, and Latin cultures, massive poverty and wealth disparity, a large mixed population and a high crime rate.

Enjoy!

hopefully not overcrowded like some countries, depends on birth rate and how many people we let in or slip in

World population will probably drop for centuries to somewhere under a billion.

The only thing I do in Boise is see one of my doctors there.

Well..to tell the truth..been 3 years since I ambled through there..saw a concert in Hyde Park~
I used to go there often to see the VA..but now that Veteran's Choice is in effect...I get all my medical right here in Twin.
I don't doubt Trump will fuck that up soon~

No wonder you like Boise. An admitted Democrat you are. Rare isn't it in Twin Falls?

LOl!
Not a Democrat--just to the left of Neo-Fascism----and not as rare as all that. Do remember that we have CSI and the Refugee Resettlement Program here as well--so a Hijab in Albertson's is not all that rare of a sight.
I once posted my progress in teaching refugee immigrants how to shoot and be aware of their 2nd amendment rights.
Boy, were there some conflicted posters that day!

I'm to the left of many here at USMB--not that that's all that hard.

I'm still an Idahoan in good standing--we're not quite as one-dimensional as all that~

I left CA and came to Idaho thanks to family living here. I spent decades in CA as a flaming left winger and Carter cured that for me. Trump really is smarter than given credit for especially for the left. There is nothing good for you in the left either. I escaped them and am honest here on this forum too. Grandma died here in Idaho and so did some of my cousins. I have family in Utah all over the place there.
