        All those factories that aren’t there because all companies decided to move them to China (or another overseas country) to cut costs :D

          buying consumer crap generally requires consumer income. the us will quickly become a backwater global export destination for anything other than 1% luxury items because the poors will simply be too poor to matter wrt global demand.

      Nah, it won’t be that bad. Underemployment numbers are going to skyrocket though. You want 10 hours this week? Hah. But at least you’re getting that higher rate, right?

      Oh, you’re not getting that rate yet? Ouch.

    All going according to plan. Sink the economy, blame everyone else, start a war, profit immensely, institute dictatorship, ramp up deportations/jailings/executions.

    You know how you can tell we’re fucked? They’re not saying we’re going to be in a recession anymore. They’re saying “its going to be similar to a recession”.
