Remember too that, for systemic collapse like this, things happen slowly, then all at once.

Extra History's Bronze Age Collapse series is a good watch right now:

I don't think there will be a full on collapse, because there is still underlying value in US (especially places like California that have GDP higher than some countries).

But long term degradation of economy absolutely.
