I don't believe the market makes or breaks 90% of the world population
However, where the rubber meets the road, 90% of the world population rely on trade with the United States. That aspect could come to a screeching halt.
What does that get you to? Who can produce enough food and energy to sustain their population apart from the world economy? You're left with the United States and Russia. There are a few others with minimal imports.
Now if the bubble pops. Within 120 days without a fix, you will start seeing 100's million dying of starvation per month around the world.
Unlike the rest of the world. If that happens within the United States or just a hint of it. You will find the hunter become the hunted very fast as the nation is armed. So, minus the market, FED etc...all you need is a means or currency for transactions and removal of the tyrants. Let's say aka ...rainbow currency.
I would also have to ask and question the ability of tyrants to remove 200 million plus people from their homes or apartment, repo of 300 million vehicles and their ability to create a debtor's prison for people with unpaid credit cards and loans.
Really the only question at present is? How much "We the people will put up with". I don't think the 1% of tyrants in the world have enough minions, High enough gates and enough bullets once the masses wake up.
I could be wrong. However, I haven't bought retail in 10 years, drive a 20-year-old car, built like a brick shit house. Shop at Goodwill, have a DD214 and still know how to lay down a line of fire and can live in a tent and fish and hunt.
My bigger fear is we are in a game of good cop/bad cop... time will tell.
