And all the "American" Billionaires will find that maybe, they can't just go to New Zealand or Malta and hide out in comfort to come back after the dust is settled
It's easier for the rest of the world to cut us off than play US Nationalist games. Yeah, it might hurt them at first, but they can do it.

As a country, we're pretty much toast while we are struggling with the question on what is a normal US Citizen and whether or not this country can survive with classes of people based on birth rather than actual merit. We aren't going to get any help from outside when we need it.

As a country, we are going to have to totally re-jigger our Constitution, and that means all those snowflake mediocre White Guys and over-emotional Talking Heads might find they're going to have to stop pretending Amurrikkka is supposed to be Rich and White if it's going to survive.

It's not going to be fun. But this Country let the "cute" 10 year old smart assed Arsonist take over the house, so now it's got to pay - and unfortunately take a lot of good people and other things with it.
Sorry kids, wish I could have done more.
