In this timeline, that seems incredibly optimistic to the point of being impossible.
Public support I can buy. Housing first, Medicare for all, cannabis legalization all poll incredibly well. The government doing it, regardless of who’s in power? That’s fantasy. Lol. I’d be more likely to believe we got transporters, or the Elon musk has a replicator and the rest of us aren’t allowed to use it. Lol.
It’s a good time to watch ds9. We’re only a year away from the Bell riots. ;)
The reunification of Ireland and Northern Ireland will also take place next year.
Bell Riots took place in 2024, so less than a year away now.

This was on Mastodon this morning.
Honestly, star trek hasn’t always hit the nail on the head for the circumstances, but in this case, they got the vibe just perfectly.
Star Trek notwithstanding, we’re definitely living in the era of Transmetropolitan’s made-up website names.
