Don't forget:
-
Out of control sea level rise due to climate change, which is why they all live up in the sky
-
Mutants in the lower levels
I still like the theory that the "mutants" below are just the Flintstones. The Jetson society hoarded all the technology and moved into the sky to get away from the peasants...
Which still absolutely checks out for the current timeline.

Tbh the Jetsons was always a capitalist dystopia we were just seeing a white upper class family that benefitted from it
Their sprocket based economy next?
I think we call them "widgets."
I'm sure someone's walked their dog on a treadmill
I think that's actually a service, somewhere. They bring the treadmill to the dogs.
Where's my damn flying car?
Fuck that, I'd rather have Penny's Computer Book.

Oh wait.
They exist but are stupid expensive.
