HINT: regulation is down and declining. The last paradigm shift was to the right under Reagan, and that hasn't eased a bit. Finally, a leftward shift may be starting, but the gutless Dems are fighting hard to stop it. The more Progressive Dems may not have enough clout to push back effectively.
If you hate the talk about socialism (note: small 's'), you're not going to like the next few decades, but talk is cheap. If real policy change happens, then something boring and Great Power 1T-like may happen, or it might be an age of stellar advancement for everyone. If not, then plan for worse … much worse. We should know by 2024, unless my guess is totally off.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
