I get most of my food from the grocery store, so it would not be good if that happened. I'd go as far to say that this happening would not be good for anyone, actually.

total collapse is a fantasy. nothing will totally collapse overnight but prices will probably increase and life will become more precarious for most workers.
And not to mention, even within the US, different places might experience collapse very differently. This is what happened with Rome - a place like Britain was wrecked when the legions withdrew, but like modern day Algeria and Tunisia might have been a little better off by not having to ship a bunch of their grain to Rome every year.
But overall, yeah, bad times all around.
yep. folks living in formerly industrialized communities in the south and midwest in the US have experienced this 'collapse' over the course of the past 5 decades. it has been a long process. you could even argue they never had the material benefits of empire that the upper class folks in major cities in the US have had.

Climate change could alter that I think. All depends on what it looks like

Total, immediate, ubiquitous collapse is a fantasy but total collapse in and of itself has already happened to millions of people in the USA and vast swaths of its area. At the very bottom of the American hierarchy the end has already come and that population grows by the day
