And how will the US economy collapse exactly? You do know your economy will be negatively impacted along with all other 3rd world economies? US consumerism is....big....
Correction: Don't underestimate the US. Only a fool with a price on his head would do so otherwise.
lol.... Believe it or not. But this is exactly what my economic professor says (well not exactly word to word but...)
People underestimate the importance of the buyer market, this world is a buyer driven market, buyer create demand and for that link, we had to requir a supply. Imagine when trade ceased to exist between 2 countries. A buyer and a seller, an user and a manufacturer. The buyer, or end user will simply buy the same product at a slight increase of cost from a different seller, but for the seller and the manufacturer? Their market was gone and their post is total unless the seller can redirect the sell to another place that can digest it completely.
And the American market is HUGE
Buying power is not aligned to GDP, but rather the average spending power to average household. You can have a 20 trillions GDP in you country, but if you per capita were still only 24k per year per people, you would better off sell to a market with 14 trillions GDP but with 40k per capita, cause they can buy twice as much as the 24k market by logic.
That is why the current economy is buyer driven, not seller driven. We tell what the seller make, not the seller told us what to buy.
