This was predicted, and he warned everybody in advance. Whether his policies are beneficial or detrminental in the long run remains to be seen.

yeah, remains to be seen. we didn't see what his policies looked like 100 years ago when they failed back then too. good thing he warned everybody tho!

His policies are identical to the shock doctrine in Russia, and the "neoliberal miracle" of Chile post coup. Fucking empty headed motherfuckers
