ICE Raids did lasting damage to the American psyche. Many will never forgive this country or feel safe in America ever again. So state fairs are going to be empty; in-person shopping is going to be more depressed than normal. The economy is a factor, as always; but having federal agents storming your streets and breaking into businesses is a new tier of bad.
This trauma is real and most are still unaware of how hard it has hit. I imagine the USA will see a stark increase in nEETs, shut-ins, and “hikikomori” in the coming decades; as well as a pervasive sense of apathy and nihilism. It will be a far better time to be an online business than an in-person one.
Don’t even need ICEstapo to accomplish Americans being nEETs/shut-ins/hikikomori. Just fire them unjustifiably from their job without any safety net. Those Americans won’t take a step outside their home for fear of getting hurt or spending money they don’t need to spend.
Of course this doesn’t include grocery shopping or in-home accidents or emergencies.
