What i dont understand is why it is seemingly not pricing in the blowback. Clearly next admin will scrutinize any trump-era deals very heavily for their own political points so even if the gravy train is going full stream now it won’t last forever
They're certainly not pricing in the fact that corruption is actually a really poor business model, especially with the current rollback of the regulatory protections: those companies are going to get paid a lot of money to be husks of their former selves. Why deliver anything when you can get paid for not delivering it as well? Why build and retain qualified engineering staff when you don't need them?
- You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what, it will be fixed, it will be fine, you won't have to vote anymore..."
But headlines such as "Trump signs order declaring only president and AG can interpret US law for executive branch"
Make me wonder.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also, as a point, I wasnt saying there would NOT be elections, but if they were fair and not banana republic elections.
