i wonder how long until social unrest truely takes hold, especially among young adults.

standards of living have been going down in the past decade, while the government seems to think young people have nothing to moan about. not to mention the massive bill called climate change which is due sooner or later.

I don't think there will be, at least not for several decades.

Things are "bad" for many people in the country, but not third-world-country bad. People will be too focused on just meeting their basic needs. In what little free time they have, they will distract themselves with their phones that will tell/comfort them that the "other side" is responsible for the general malaise (instead of the collective rich elites).
