The US cutting off the rest of the world first does the exact opposite of this. No matter how big the US is, there's not a chance in hell the US can both compete with China and antagonize the rest of the world at the same time. This is pure fantasy.

Interesting prediction. Here's mine: American companies will see the isolationist policies and chaos as bad for business, and just pack up and leave.
They’ll order your food and find the best deals on shopping, swipe your dating profile, negotiate with your lenders, and generally anticipate your every want or need. The only ingredient they’ll need to realize this blissful future...
blissful future ??? This sounds like some nihilistic death where you stop participating in society. WTF is wrong with people.
I know you are being facetious, but for the sake of argument, at some point, the tariffs are so big, no trade is happening, so it doesn't matter how "big" the tariff numbers are at that point, it's all the same.
Right. The only difference between a tariff and a VAT, is that the VAT applies to all products indiscriminately, where as a tariff only applies to imported goods.
Some of the states are cool. Let MAGA have their own states, so they can find out for themselves how their experiment sucks.
Priced out of circuses? My dude, social media is the new circus, cheaper and more accessible than ever. No need for bread when we can control and distract the masses by pulling on the algorithm levers at no cost.
This query works for me in hass with llama3.2:3b.
Cool. Now do the USA next.
Bread and circus. The dial on the circus went up (social media) so the powerful can now steal the bread (goods).
It's all just more of the same.
I'm sure attacking states is going to make the USA a stronger union, especially as it isolates itself from the world.
This is the best way to stick it to fascists.
