    No, you don’t understand, it’s all just part of a 5D chess gambit. If they crash the economy hard enough, then it will be cheap to manufacture things in the US! Plus there won’t be any filthy foreigners coming to take the jobs, since the wages will all be worthless, so that’ll fix immigration as well! As an added bonus, the garbage, worthless wages will also make it so it’s cheaper to run understaffed call centers from the US as well, so you’ll never have to worry about hearing someone with an Indian accent after you’ve been on hold for 6 hours. Isn’t it great?

      It’s all part of a plan to avoid the mistake of transitioning to an economy that provides well paying jobs for everyone. It’s time to get back to our roots of manufacturing and agriculture, so we can bring back the good old days that are remembered as warmly as that river that caught fire.

      I wonder much new construction will cost less imports and immigrant labour. 12/10 foresight. Definitely won’t lead to unrest.
