    Oh we’re so cooked guys. It’s all over. We got switcheroo’d. The prisoner has talked the guard into the cage without his key.

    We serve no purpose to them. They have all of the manufacturing, and the skill, and we have zero manufacturing.

    They’ve made so much money doing work for us, now their rich are the ones buying the stuff they make.

    We rocked the boat, but we are the ones that fell out. It’s literally the meme of the bike rider who sticks the branches into the spokes.

    Apparently our country has decided to kamikazee the world econony, but we missed and yeeted ourselves into the ground. We attacked ourselves in confusion.

    We pissed off everybody in a world where we fully depend on others.

      They also have a dominant position in the global supply chain for raw materials like cobalt and lithium. Good luck developing that EV industry in the US.
