Well over the course of the collision, the solar system could get ejected from the galaxy. But also the collision is predicted to occur nearly 10 billion years from now so the sun would have already consumed Earth. Overall, probably a bad thing for the economy

Even if the solar system was ejected, I don’t think anything would change. As long as no large objects came into the solar system to disrupt our orbit of the sun, we probably wouldn’t notice.

I believe in a star trek future that lasts billions of years. I mean hopefully we're exploring other galaxies at that point, but if we're still only galactic, losing the cradle of humanity would be devastating
