All they’d really have to do is just stop selling us shit. We don’t make anything here, we’re a consumer culture. Just cancel all shipments to the US, turn the boats and planes around, and there’d be a second American revolution within days if not hours.

I feel pretty certain we're gonna lose our global reserve currency over this, and then we really won't be able to buy all this shit. We're gonna have to actually pay off all our foreign debt.

That seems likely. Americans have NO idea how we got rich or why we are rich. Now we will find out but most will never accept it. What they imagine about wealth is something completely different than reality. It is a signal of worth. It is a 'reward' for something. It can be acquired by pure will.
