Well, if it isn't profitable, you can only ride that out so long.
Who is going to frequent your business, buy your products, employ your services, etc? It is a domino effect.
Ok, well, I didn't say this was a perfect plan. Sorry. I think there will be "survivors" in the U.S., regardless of the outcome. The basics (food, clothing, housing, heat, electricity, transportation, etc.) will still be needed by whoever is left.

True. I don't know how this is going to turn out, but I just have a bad feeling. With the power of the internet (& telecom), many middle-class desk jobs can be done anywhere in the world.
My assumption is that the middle-class (like me!) will be decimated. That may well leave the rich folks who employ third-world people to do work to sell to the rest of the world. I don't know.
