let's say i'm a rich businessman looking to build a new plant.

9. the problem is that donnie is becoming a problem for big business.

what selfish ceos loved first and foremost was access to a huge base of spending consumers with a backdrop of a predictable legal, tax, and regulatory environment.

second to that was an easily manipulated government that would create loopholes and breaks and look the other way in exchange for cost-effective legal bribes.


the problem is now donnie is shaking down businesses for tens and hundreds of million dollars without anything specific in exchange, only perhaps temporarily removing a threat to do damage.

that predictable environment for business is gone.
the legal bribes are no longer cost-effective.
and the spending consumer just got hit with the cost of a massive tax hike, and we'll almost surely enter a recession if we're not already in one.

donnie killed the goose that laid golden eggs.


if i was able to start up a business, i certainly wouldn't do it in america.
