(many much worse than our current situation). Without opposition nobody can grow and become better. My sister got cancer, my father died suddenly this last summer, my brother just lost his job, a brother's wife left him so that she could drink and party.... life happens. If God always intervened then we wouldn't be able to learn or grow. In 3rd Nephi God allowed a famine to happen to minimize death caused by war.
I'm not sure how serious you were with your question, but those are my thoughts.
