Brexit or Breaksit?

[classicdrogn]

Well, except for the US having a fair bit more self-sufficiency, or at least potential for it if native resources were tapped instead of cheaper imports, than the much smaller Britain. It wouldn't be a fun time and there are some things with no local source or reasonable substitutes, but there would at least be the possibility of eventually getting back on an even footing rather than breaking down to the point of accepting what was offered or outright collapse. Dartz mentioned that Britain is for the most part a major importer of food, and there's little that will ensure major social disruptions like people suddenly discovering they can't put a meal on their table.
