The US economy is going to become very strange. It's an oil exporter, but unless it stops exporting oil its still going to be hit with higher prices. It's an ICE auto producer and has kneecapped its own EV industry, but that won't even matter as gas gets more expensive. It's main areas of economic growth are gig work (which mostly involve driving people and things in cars) and tech (which relies on cheap energy and reliable helium supplies), both of which will implode unless it implements export controls.

So basically, there's the whole economy on one side of the equation, and there's the oil/gas industry on the other side.

I have no idea what is going to happen.
