The dems are establishing political risk as a cardinal point of business planning. Companies can work the process, dot the it’s and cross the t’s, get all required permits in heavily regulated fields, and proceed in good faith with billions of dollars in investments ... and while all corporate obligations are binding, none of the government permits are worth the paper they are written on. This is the abolition of the rule of law, as is retroactivity in regulatory and court decisions.
Owning the politicians and controlling the activist groups through large grant’s are the only safe harbors. Corruption become the only ways to achieve reasonable certainty. To corrupt pols, this is a feature, not a bug.
Excellent post, and excellent assessment.
Just make sure you personally have secured access to potable water, a decent store of food and a few years supply of heating materials.
