      You also have to admit that the US covers for most of the worlds military. Most of nato and many Asian allies have very low defense spending, because the US will cover them. Most of the time when there is a global crisis or localized crisis the US is involved in one way or another.

      we need to reel in the international shipping industry, the fashion industry, and also the global war machine

      Believe you mean “modernize” and not “reel in,” because ending international shipping would be catastrophic worldwide.

        If we’re being pedantic, the post said “reel in” international shipping, not “ending”.
