    We’ve bankrupted ourselves, largely to them. They are the largest holder of US debt. While much of their economy is currently aligned around exports and the US being their largest market, they are also maturing in their economy…their middle class is 300 million people. Think about that for a minute.

    With time, when china chooses after theyve developed othe large trade relationships so they are not they reliant on the US, they will call in their chips, and the US will collapse. It may be 100 years from now. It doesn’t matter. China has always been playing chess while US pawns, only thinking about a current fat bribe or contribution for their party or Corp this year, are playing Pong.

    In retrospect, the US was given power unimaginable due to confluence of events, history and geography…of course it squandered it without the historical wisdom to look ahead. It may be dark, but probably best for a harsh reset in the US…it’s horrific as a society, culture and has become a monster of a country. We will learn to be strong again and hopefully, like the French, make better lessons of our next revolution.

      But, hey, those $2 tchotchkes in the dollar bins of supercenters were worth it, right?
