>never-ending warBut never in one place.
>poison foodFood has always been able to poison you, it's called rot.
>mass obesity>declining mental healthSame problem, and not dystopian because it is the byproduct of the individuals themselves. Nobody forces them to be weak.
>declining birth rateAgain, a choice.
>technocracyThis was, once upon a time, actually thought as the path to utopia. It also appears to be on the way out, because the technocrats turned out to be better at sounding smart than being smart.
>big pharmaOh no, breakthrough life-saving treatments are expensive!
>kleptocratic governmentNot in the slightest a new development. Government always takes shit, every government in existence spends its existence from inception fighting over how much shit to take and from whom.

>$37 trillion in debtThe only actual problem you've highlighted. Made worse by the fact that, if the problem is even theoretically surmountable, which I personally doubt, there is no political will to do what's necessary, and even a good solid economic catastrophe won't fix it because the last time we got that we got the New Deal, which just put us on the path for where we are today. I fully concede this point, because all outcomes of this are bad and one of them is guaranteed to come to fruition.
