I am wondering, at what point we will start observing economic effects from this kind of governance we are seeing now and in the last couple of weeks. I feel that only the economic crisis/slump may force to change course from the ongoing transformation to totalitarianism.
Unfortunately there is no guarantee that there will be economic effects. For example many companies tried to stay in Russia long after Russia started the war in Ukraine, and many left only after significant pressure.
- ffsm8 2y agoAn economic effect is always very delayed. The stock markets may react relatively quickly, but the actual effect often takes a pretty long time to be reflected in GDP or similar metrics. For example, Brexit also took several years before even the last fishermen had to accept that things did not get better. So even if Trump was to entirely ruin the econnomy, it's unlikely it'll really be felt before he's out of office again. though there is the occasional example that actually fucks it up to a degree that things escalate even within their ruling period - i.e. canadas renting crisis right now
- sega_sai 2y agoGood points. I guess if the bond markers react and obtaining new or refinancing old debt becomes more expensive, I can see how that can affect things quicker. Especially given the role of treasuries in all financial markets.
