Sell their treasury bills. Boycott T-bill issues. This not only is a consequence to the US, but insulates coi ties against the coming collapse of the #$US as the world's reserve currency. Such a thing can happen. It has happened historically. When it does, the tide turns surprisingly fast.

Carney is, as are most orthodox economists, tone deaf to wealth inequality. His term at the bank of England marked a massive flow of capital to the wealthy and precious little thought to distribution. This is the essence of the affordability crisis as the increasingly wealthy outbid us for assets.

When the King is gone, the US will need to decide if the patrimonial form of government serves them- if more kings is what they want or if they would prefer self-government. The Trump dynasty with Don uo next and Barron warming up? - Nah.
