Balkanization of America is going to be one of the best things to ever happen to the world. The US will split into weird warring factions and rather than spend time trying to destabilize governments globally will instead focus on trying to destabilize the remnants of itself.
They let Brexit happen. I think if the rich can find a way to make money off of it, they certainly will. It won't be like...Amazon, who actually does benefit from interstate trade. It would be regional industries like steel or big agra that would want something like this, and they definitely have the money to push for it.
Alternatively even Amazon could benefit from it if they could setup a state without all the pesky labor laws that keep them from TRULY exploiting workers. So I'm not so sure that the rich couldn't find a way to benefit from it in a way they wouldn't be able to with the US as a whole
I don't know if the rich will or not, but the US military industrial complex definitely won't. Because a state like TX or CA leaving means a lot less revenue but the same imperial interests need to be defended.
But the military should be broken up too and that's absolutely good. Y'all are deeply fucked anyways. But that won't haooen because MIC will protect itself at all cost and the Financial Complex is nothing without the army to do terror in the countries that want to rebel.

It's nice to dream about it, but nah, rich people will never let that happen.

Exactly, the MIC will just do a coup before anything like this happening

Worse, the broken off parts will just become unregulated resource extraction bonanzas that benefit all the same people as now.
