What do I know? Nothing. That won't stop me from offering this thought FWIW (not much):

I think that the insane people who run our society believe that since the US is the "indispensable nation" we can do anything we damn please and no one will pull the plug. We can always find some country to buy our debt (is that what they do?) and print up more Vibranium and there will always be a willing buyer for that.

And I think that they were probably right when the US actually was the "indispensable nation."

But what if we aren't?

And - isn't it kind of stupid to pick a fight with the country that (a) holds a nice chunk of our debt (I read differing amounts) and with which we have a huge trade deficit? Over something that means nothing to most Americans.

Just asking.

As a Millennial I’m thrilled to live through another financial disaster. We can’t all be baby boomers I guess. (And yes you’re right about us.)
