This is how it went down in Venezuela, very quickly, unfortunately
This comment is getting downvoted now, presumably by people who think it's totally obvious which event in Venezuela nico is talking about, but can't be bothered to enlighten me. I wonder if the different downvoters even agree with each other about which one it is.
But the US president don't have the same power Maduro had, and have competent bureaucracy (in this case, the Fed). Anyway the comparison does not really work anyway. We lack data points. I'll wait 6 months before making any judgments.
