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.

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.
