The business-as-usual multi-international neoliberal supply chain model wasn't benefiting a vast number of Americans with no solution other than "don't complain look at these metrics we made up, you're doing great, don't be upset we are making billions while you struggle to afford to fix your teeth or fix your car". Something had to break and break it did.

If you are so non-zero sum, what would you suggest as the fix for those issues if we kept the old model?

Americans are upset about not having any money while being the richest and most powerful country in the world. They are throwing a temper tantrum about a world order they created and are the main beneficiary of.

Progressive taxation.

I would suggest not going with the dumbest rock you can find and standing behind it against all evidence.
