      Yeah, that’s the concern. But this has happened so much in modern history that the world is starting to put infrastructure onto the possible pathway of life without the US. If it happens, it’ll be fine. If it doesn’t, even better.

      Whatever happens will be read in the history books of developed nations, hichever they may be. Just like it is now for any other of the many empires in hustory—granted, they usually last much longer.

      But we’ll have killed our climate by then and the planet will get a nice little break before the next sga, so doesn’t really matter.
