30. Economic chaos
Mon Nov 11, 2024, 02:09 PM
Nov 11

Restaurants, roofing, landscape maintenance will cease.

Retail stores will be unstocked.

Landlords will lose tenants.

Grandma, grandpa, and children will be forced to take empty jobs because their income will plummet from SS cuts and government support ending. This is defacto slave labor.

Will Governors respond? Will the mass of workers strike? Output could fall drastically. Consumption too. This will be like jumping INTO 1932 with a fascist response from government.
