You know how they apparently can’t make new steel anymore in the UK? What if that just keeps happening until steel is a consumer luxury item, an heirloom?
I know it’s unrealistic but it’s a funny thought. More likely people would just start taking steel off stuff to do their own things with.
At this point I half expect some sudden and byzantine micro market collapse to reveal that all the steel recycling plants in the country were at the end of a very long speculative financial chain that ended in Sharper Image, and only now has inertia come to claim them.

China pays for a 99 year lease of Liverpool with goods the british can’t produce for themselves like pots and pans
China trade steel to UK but only in exchange for silver.
Like how marble from Roman ruins was taken to build whatever people wanted marble for. Real collapsing empire shit
