People can be angry at Trump and that momentum could be utilized by the next candidate. Nah, sounds too elaborate.
You could just form an authoritarian dictator monarchy, and gun down anyone who disagrees. There are many countries that followed this path already.
Now that USA will spiral down to deep depression, it’s going to be much easier to get the people behind whatever plan comes next.
So, how about you build a new empire, invade neighboring countries, commit war crimes left and right, and start exterminating people who don’t fit your arbitrary criteria. Germany did that and everything worked out perfectly.
Oh, wait…
Well anyway. I’m out of ideas.
Looks more like Russia and USA are in the same trade embargo, while the rest of the world is free to do whatever they want.
My guess: First corporate war and the formation of NUSA that maintains a little bit of control over some parts of the country. The rest will be effectively owned and controlled by various corporations that act more like kingdoms.
When USA isn’t a superpower any more, they can’t project their power on the other side of the world either. In recent decades, they got involved with a bunch of different conflicts around the world, and influenced global geopolitics. I guess those days are permanently behind us now.
Now, it’s up to Russia, China and India to figure out what they want to do with that power vacuum.
Wow, that really is listed as an element. I’m learning so much!
Voom sounds like a fun place to visit.
Because 99% is still less than “all of Europe”, so…
If an artist is using their grant money on booze and art supplies, the government will get a fair bit of the money back through taxes. If the artist does drugs instead, the government is missing out. The obvious choice would be to start taxing all narcotics and intoxicants.
As opposed to what the headline could make you think, it’s not a complete ban on all REE exports. A total ban wouldn’t make much sense.
The REE business is big, and China can’t keep stockpiling these metals for long. Also, REE production is integrated to the rest of the industry, so you can’t just switch those factories off and expect everything else to keep on chugging along as usual.
