40% isn't bad. Next battlefield is probably Sub-Saharan Africa where economic exploitation beyond raw materials is still quite viable. China has a jump in the infrastructural sector, but decades of American entertainment industry everywhere else has created an audio-visual juggernaut ready to wash over savannahs and wetlands, providing a vast field of opportunity. In a continent where one country recently printed a trillion dollar note, the US$ might seem ultra-sound. There are plenty of "terrorists" to fight, which is an economic strongpoint amongst America's remnant industries. Factions can be created to provide the U.S. with steady allies and figurehead statesmen to plea for help. American health and agricultural leaders can descend on the continent to help each nation create a first-rate medical facilities and field-to-dock agricultural products. A more robust maritime industry awaits America's help. Professional sports organizations can be created and television sponsorship enlisted. Lawyers can be issued from newly created clusters of colleges and mentored by American lawyers doing a little "pro bono." The American prison industry can establish partnerships with interested African nations in which American corporations would operate multi-jurisdictional prison facilities. In these facilities American inmates deemed dangerous "lifers" might gain another chance under the control and mentorship of citizens of the hosting nation. Sometimes a change of environments facilitates renewal. Trained in useful skills at the correctional institution, released American inmates might well choose to stay and participate in the development of a New Africa, being a bridge, as well, between his old home and his new home. With US$ freed-up from former allies, friends and puppets, who have turned eastward, ample money would be available for reuse in Sub-Saharan Africa (and not have to come home). I do believe that a guiding principle of American business is the "equality of debtors, whether man or person, before the lawyers." This is no time to pull a shell over our heads! Let's find a patient to play "doctor" with us. There's hope until you're cold.
