Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

This might be obvious, but I just realized today that if I do laundry when the washer is 75% full (instead of 100% full), that means fewer clothes to fold!
