This is like an updated version of the comedic and prophetic film “Idiocracy” from 2006. That movie is a Mike Judge cult hit film (which was at first a bomb) and it predicted a great deal of what our lives look like now.

Read a thoughtful analysis of that film here: Idiocracy: a disturbingly prophetic look at the future of America — and our era of stupidity (https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2021/jul/19/idiocracy-a-disturbingly-prophetic-look-at-the-future-of-america-and-our-era-of-stupidity)

Or you can watch the dumbed-down version of the prophecies with a lot more pictures in this story: 17 Ways Idiocracy Has Actually Come True https://www.ranker.com/list/ways-idiocracy-has-come-true/mike-rothschild (Sorry, I had to do that.)
