> You need to take the long view. The United States is the only global superpower because of our economic might. If other countries catch up to us, they will start to test the waters on whether going to war is advantageous for them.

Personally, I wouldn't mind if there was no "global super powers". And I don't believe there has to always be at least one "super power" country either. This is considering the long view, not just "USA #1" view that seems many in the US seems to hold.

Are other countries able to ship goods cheaper and faster than the US currently? This seems uncertain.

Seems like the executives of the companies refusing to give people a living wage is the ones "cares about a relatively small amount" if what you are writing is true.
