> That potential end state isn’t possible is the point of my initial comment. It is as infeasible as the weather to control where natural resources are located
You might as well not have commented in the first place if you wanted to throw out my entire premise.
Your premise is the goal of globalism though. You just draw larger lines. If your premise is the lines _must_ contain only the US as it is today then it’s impossible to have enough coffee for the entire country among other thing.
But what are you even asking? Would it be good for Americans if the US could produce every single thing conceivable to fully meet demand domestically? Yes, it would be. But it will not and cannot happen, so it’s not a useful thought exercise.
Would it be amazing if I was 6’7”, super athletic, played in the NBA, and I was also super smart and everyone loved me, especially the ladies? Sure. But I’ve gotta play the cards I’ve been dealt (I think there are some people who love me, at least).
