@MW1CFN I think if things continue on this trajectory, something akin to the French Revolution is inevitable. Hungry people are angry people. Minimum wage workers don't make enough to survive in any american state. Housing is out of reach, transportation is out of reach, and food is becoming out of reach. There are 30 year olds living at home because even with a "good" job, they can't afford to live on their own, mostly because of the 300k it cost them to get a bit a paper.
If we don't see guillotines, or the 21st century equivalent, I will be amazed. There is a reason so many people celebrated the murder of the UHC ceo, and it wasn't just because he was the UHC ceo...it's because he was a rich bastard ceo, and the populace is primed to celebrate murdering the aristos.

@MissConstrue Well, I wouldn't want to appear to advocate killing people. But I can agree that people will suffer and not see the change they were promised by the Orange Fascist.
The problems you mention are essentially universal across the western world. Marx would predict a revolution of some form, at some point.

@MW1CFN agreed. The hoarding of capital has to stop. There are more than enough resources for us to be able to house and feed everyone in the world. There is no excuse for any of the tribulations suffered by 98% of us that actually produce labor and things.
