    Restaurant, agriculture, construction, landscaping, etc. I’m assuming it’ll be any of

    1. Prices skyrocketing
    2. Industries collapsing
    3. Money under tables and “officials” looking the other way

    Probably all 3 though, in that order.

      Heavy on number 3. Everyone tap dancing with glee over how badly this is going to blow up in the Republicans faces is seriously underestimating the degree to which this is going to be a government absolutely built from the ground up on corruption, bribery and extortion. I can’t help but think that in a few years the US is not going to look an awful lot like Russia.

      And the reality is that, by the standards of billionaires, these people will all be very, very easily bought.
