I think you are 100% right, with one clarification: Slavery.
The most corrupt, violent agency in our government is building large holding facilities all over the country, and even a 30,000 bed facility in Guantanamo Bay. They are planning on locking up a LOT of people in the future, and they are going to run out of immigrants before long. Does anyone believe that after the "immigration problem" is fixed, they will sell off those facilities, and draw down their forces? No, governments don't work like that.
We are approaching a crossroads in America, as AI and Robotics take off, and put a lot of people out of work. They want this very, very badly, and all their excitement and worry about AI carries a very clear underlying message: we can't wait to make all you terrible human worker drones permanently unemployed.
In fact, there is a giant bubble, and if their fantasies of Ai dominance, and the end of human employment, DON'T come true, then that bubble is going pop, and we're going to see a repeat of 2008. They are betting hard on destroying as many jobs as possible. As workers, we are screwed either way, and NOBODY is speaking up for us.
And when that happens, when every fast food restaurant is fully automated, every ride share vehicle is driverless, every truck shipment is driverless, x-rays are read by AI, etc. we are going to have a PERMANENT unemployment rate of 50%, or perhaps even higher. It will be necessary to have some sort of UBI, or assistance with housing and food.
And MAGA will be happy to help. Anyone unemployed, with too much debt, who needs government assistance, etc. will all have to go to the work camps, where they will be leased out to corporations as slaves, per the 13th Amendment.
THAT'S the future of America. We don't do feudalism here, we do straight up SLAVERY, except they'll call it the generosity of the US Government, giving you money, supplying your basic needs, but also instilling a MAGA sense of work ethic as well. Slavery is good for you, Arbeit macht frei.
