  This is likely the end of the USA. Not this issue specifically, of course. Many countries have survived treating workers as slaves - it could even be argued it's the default state of history. Rather, the fact that the supreme court has essentially ruled that it is unconstitutional for the government to govern is likely a harbinger of the end. When an intragovernmental conflict of this severity happens in any other country, it is called a constitutional crisis. It often results in the firing of the entire government and new elections for every position, and sometimes major changes to the country's constitution to prevent the same thing happening again. It's one of the only events where the monarch still does anything in Commonwealth constitutional monarchies, since they have the power to call for this to happen. The USA is not a constitutional monarchy, so it will probably just continue the descent until something even bigger breaks.
