The death of the empire won't be a loud bang but a boring ever after. Nothing to do, nothing to distract you from all these memories of what you have done. The worst thing for a worker to happen is nothing at all. If nothing happens at all, nobody needs you, nobody employs you, how do you spend your time? How do you justify your own existence?
To a worker, the worst that could happen is literally nothing at all. As long as anything happens, and i mean anything, there's business to be made and work to be done. As some poet put it: "Do not go easy into this silent night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Do not go easy into this silent night."
And that is why Trump starts this war; Because if all was perfect, and everybody had everything they need, the economy would come to a screeching halt. To ensure that things continue to be done, and business to be made, windows must be broken repeatedly (planned obsolescence), and buildings need to be smashed, so they can continue to be rebuilt, in a never-ending cycle.
