This is extremely well done.

The capital-owners have imported tens of millions of extremely fiscally expensive brown and black foreigners as a political counterweight to heartland America. So it's not easy to go to the status quo before America had the global currency.

Also, arguably America's deindustrialization is less a problem of pure economy, than of *political economy*: that is, the huge wealth concentrated in a small number of hands allowed certain individuals and groups to gain control of America's politics; and they used this power to shut down American industry: whether for political reasons, for aesthetic reasons, for personal reasons (like Pelosi's corruption in shutting down rare earth mines), or because they just don't care about America's long term future.
