> the dependency to sell to the USA

What interests me about this comment is the statistic that 50% of US consumer spending comes from people in the top 10% of earnings (first google link, probably not the best source: https://www.warc.com/content/feed/top-10-of-wealthy-american...)

So while the US might look like a really juicy market, I start to wonder how much juice is in the lemon?

Why the dependency to sell to the US if 90% of the US population doesn't have the free cash to buy things?

Yes, I know I'm stupid, and look at all the cheap stuff americans buy; I've seen the miles of warehouses from companies like 5 Below. My concern is how long this lasts?
