You have to put these things in context. It is much easier, logistically, for a single Country to do this than the entirety of the US.
Example: France, in the vid, actually fits into the state of Texas. Ergo, this would be like Texas shutting down....but that's not going to happen because of the interconnectivity of ALL states/highways. Each state is not its own country, thereby making it multitudes of difficulty higher on the "we should do this" ladder. States have Autonomy to a point, but we are all part of a greater Union of States.
It will have to involve ALL states....so basically, on an equivalency, the entirety of Europe (which fits into the size of the US with room to spare) would have to all do this at the same time.
All that said, there may yet come a point where states unite to collectively shout, "ENOUGH!"....and I welcome it.
