           | 
           | Most generally, that the class divide and apparent drop in
           | quality of life of the lower classes would cause the US to go
           | some economic and political turnoil. And that most likely
           | it'd end in a return to the non-interventionism of the early
           | XXth century
           | 
           | In this particular case meaning China would be "waiting" for
           | the US to largely withdraw military presence from mostly
           | everywhere
           | 
           | We may be cursed with some interesting times ahead.

       | Cars have become computers with a different form factor. I'm not
       | confident that automakers can keep their SW/FW stack up to date
       | and secure, given their complex supply chains, scrambling to
       | build products that are new to them, while competing with big
       | tech to retain SW engineering talent.
