This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.
RULES

The massive inequity of wealth distribution isn't necessary or unaddressable - we already tax them... We could just do that far more.
The workers don't need to be forced into education, only given the opportunity to participate if they choose (without today's frequently insurmountable obstacles of cost and time). We still need workers for "unskilled" jobs - we just need to ensure that their labour is adequately rewarded, which can come at the expense of the do-nothing shareholder leeches.
