I think the US (and Canada) just needs to ride the tide and let all the other boats sink. Pretty much everyone else is screwed. I think people are underestimating the second order effects of the US still having stable energy and farming capabilities. We'll see more stuff get done here and less stuff done elsewhere. Unemployment will be great here no matter what we do really. It will suffer in other countries.

Though I'll admit, I still found the stat that of 20% youth unemployment in China to be shockingly high. The idea that they're lowering their interest rates is also bonkers to think about. Their economy has been slow motion train wrecking for soooo long now. God help them if they get another covid flare up over the winter and and are stupid enough to do another lockdown.
