Start socking away money for the second Trump recession, y'all.
Exporting “excess” products to the rest of the world and designing systems that preferenced U.S. exports created the postwar prosperity Americans have seen over the past 75 years. It’s going to be so cool when U.S. standard of living falls off a cliff and MAGA has no idea why.

i think this is basically what has happened a big chunk of the american pundit class
One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.
This isn’t some rant saying “Germany has learned nothing from its past” - the reality is more subtle than that. Middle-class Germans live and travel with an incredible amount of ease and comfort, and they just got…sleepy. Many of them dismissed the far-right’s rage as just another set of complaints.
