    If the US defaults, America as an empire collapses. It could be as small a deal as a massive period of restructuring, or it could mean the death of billions and the end of modern life

    It sure as hell won’t be a better world for the banks though, they’ll invent new types of math to keep the game going a little longer

      1. There is no America as an Empire.

      2. It would be no different than an extra difficult government shutdown. I predict that the government would be forced to start selling off properties to run the IRS and make settlements with the banks.
