If it was good for Russia in the 90s, MAGA Shock Therapy for the high debt, low GDP gain Neoliberal Basketcase Economy of the USA in the 2020s should be good too, right?

The same neoliberals who advocated Shock Therapy to neoliberalism in the 90s are suddenly wary of Shock Therapy in the 2020s.

"Make change slowly or you'll hurt people and the economy" - shit they didn't say in the neoliberal heyday before reality trumped their sales pitch theory.

Nah! The only way to make reforms stick is to shock! ;)

I just bought 16 two foot 6500k fluorescent grow lamp tubes. Backups for my plants because fluorescent is still being 'phased out'. I need some for my reef tank next.

So hyperinflation? Voters who wanted "lower prices on day one" will not be happy.

And the whole Soviet "shock therapy" was about confiscation of savings, price deregulation and privatization of government property. I see no parallel to anything here.
