Omg... I have tried to sound the whistle on a major mistake no less than 3 times in the last 7 years and they have all been ignored. I have taken to doing what I used to do with my female friends who had poor taste in men, tell them what is going to happen and let them know the only reason I am doing it is so I can say "told you so" later.

Heh. I've grown fond of the phrase "My resume is up to date, anyway. Go for it."

It’s as if thinking is shut down as soon as they enter the workplace.

Me: "I don't think this is the right approach, it will cause [problem]"

Them: "No, you don't understand, if we don't do it this way it will cause problems for the client"

[Some time later]

Them: "Mr senior developer, [problem] has happened, you have to help us fix it!"

There's something aggravating about being the go-to person to fix problems and not being trusted enough to have your warnings about upcoming problems he died.

That's exactly it. Being accused of catastrophizing, then being blamed for how expensive the fix is... Demoralizing combination.
