Not to be too pedantic, but "The Prince" was intended as a sincere operating manual for governing (not a satire in any way).

The shocking lack of morality in the book is what made it rather infamous. It was not a joke at all.
That's not as big a problem as you'd think because they have those scooters at the supermarket. You can ask another shopper to reach stuff on the upper shelves for you.
Attention citizen, you have been assigned work duty to run on a treadmill and recharge EV batteries. Report to the Tesla Power Floor in your neighborhood. Objectors will be deported to Guantanamo. Make America Greed Again.

Normally all the trucks and train cars get filled up and take our food products to the ports , empty, then fill up with imports. Since we will not be exporting, the costs of running empty trucks and trains all over will double the transport cost components. Even for distribution of domestic food items the transport system will not be efficient any more.
It's a complex system of interdependencies that will unravel in unexpected ways.
We are definitely not covered for what will happen.
The royal "we". Interesting.
