>>29584138Though we're falling on hard times, it's the rest of the world that is currently collapsing. The US is in the unique situation of being geographically and militarily protected from traditional threats, and having it's own domestic food and fuel production, raw material supply/recycling capacity, advanced industry, consumer base AND cheap labor supply. American boomers had much more children than the rest of the world's boomers and our southern neighbor Mexico shat out an unholy amount of babies to the point where Mexican labor is actually cheaper than Chinese labor now. We're also the worlds reserve currency and look to continue to be, seeing how much every other currency is going to shit.
All of this enables us to actually continue running our current economic system for another 20-30 years while we sit back and watch and take notes as the rest of the world scrambles to figure out a new economic system that functions in a population collapse. A thing to note is that SEA has NONE of the aforementioned domestic characteristics and capabilities. I hope for these chuubas safety and wellbeing because their region is set to enter Sri Lanka tier hard times as deglobalization accelerates.
Remember globalization was not an economic policy. It was a security policy created by the Americans to win the cold war. It was the rest of the world that disproportionally benefited from globalization's economic side effects. And it will be the rest of the world that bears the disproportionate burden of deglobalization.
