        All those factories that aren’t there because all companies decided to move them to China (or another overseas country) to cut costs :D

          buying consumer crap generally requires consumer income. the us will quickly become a backwater global export destination for anything other than 1% luxury items because the poors will simply be too poor to matter wrt global demand.

      Nah, it won’t be that bad. Underemployment numbers are going to skyrocket though. You want 10 hours this week? Hah. But at least you’re getting that higher rate, right?

      Oh, you’re not getting that rate yet? Ouch.
