I’ll have to refresh my memory on the import/export balances info and employment figures, maybe I was mistaken, but it was quite obscene disbalance without service exports
The means of production can be easily (re)placed in the US, or Europa and since a revolution would cancel all the bullshit jobs there would be plenty of manpower for them. Also stuff like textil or chemical industries can almost be fully automated today.
It is perfectly possible. Germany is a country that still exports a lot of high value consumer goods and machinery and otherwise it's a perfectly simple western country.
Textile as in bulk commodity of course, us produces a shitton of cotton, but I’m talking specifically clothes/shoes, shit like that, that have not been automated, labor intensive stuff.
