If it’s like other countries, we will see 1) destruction of social safety net, 2) selloff of public assets especially to foreign investors, 3) privatizing public services and public infrastructure, and 4) massive devaluing of the dollar.

We had some “tremors” through the second half of 2018. I expect “earthquakes” throughout 2019.
