Future visions that we all got left hanging waiting for

Tesla autopilot:

Forever stuck at level 2 self driving capabilities. Driverless cars still decades away by the look of things.

Universal Basic Income:

Not a single developed economy adopted it. Projects show positive outcomes in small cases but nobody wants too test their luck on bigger projects.

New Fighter Jet:

WHERE IS @gigachad_brony's JET AMERICA ITS BEEN DECADES!!!

NEW TANK:

THE US IS JUST UPGRADING THE A1 ABRAMS AND CALLING IT A NEW TANK

New TALLEST BUILDING:

SINCE THE BURJ KHALIFA NOTHING NEW HAS BEATEN ITS RECORD

NUCLEAR FISSION:

ALWAYS 30 YEARS AWAY

EXPANSION OF THE EU:

THE GANG REALLY SLOWED DOWN SINCE 2014.

RUSSIA COLLAPSE:

ANYDAY NOW GUYS

ENDING GLOBAL POVERTY:

ALWAYS A FEW DECADES AWAY.

SINGLE WORLD GOVERNMENT:

ALWAYS A FEW CENTURIES AWAY

SINGLE WESTERN WORLD GOVERNMENT:

ALWAYS A FEW CENTURIES AWAY

SINGLE CONTINENTAL GOVERNMENTS:

ALWAYS A FEW DECADES AWAY

COLLAPSE OF A SINGLE US RIVAL SINCE THE COLLAPSE OF THE USSR:

It's been 33 years since a single US rival has failed and broken down into pieces. Iraq invasion doesn't count as they are still a country with an anti-US sentiment that did not lose its borders.

One of the greatest failures of modern wars is that the west stopped breaking apart nation states after defeating them, that's just setting yourself up for a future war with the same enemy.

Cheap Electronics:

Technically it happened, electronics average prices generally remain the same meanwhile the income levels and inflation keep going up.

Conclusion:

The world has mostly actually improved as advertised, and has just gotten stuck at random spots here and there.

This post rests on native land.
