Everyone here throws around the "10 days of martial law" like it's just some military or police exercise. We'll just go about our lives while Trump and team do his thing. At the end of that time, life will resume like normal and we'll move on. Right?
But, let's think about WHAT MARTIAL LAW MEANS in practical terms. We should also tie this with a financial collapse / global currency reset. If (or when) martial law is declared, there is a good possibility that it will trigger a financial collapse as well. All of the major banks have been telling us that we are on the verge of a global financial crisis. We are in an "everything bubble". So, when this martial law hits, it's most likely going to be connected to a global financial reset as well. This might go on for a lot longer than 10 days if that is the case.
Real Side Effects of Martial Law
-
Nobody goes to work. (If you also combine this with the financial collapse, it's compounded even more.) If you own your own business, this means that you are not bringing in any money. If you work for a major corporation, it means THEY are not bringing in any money. The longer the martial law goes on, the more money they are losing. This could cause a lot of small businesses to go under and a lot of larger corporation to start laying people off to make up for their lost revenue.
-
Kids won't be going to school. Your kids will all be at home with you. Nobody is leaving the house. This period of martial law / financial collapse could end up lasting for months. What do you do with your kids during that time? Let them play Xbox all day? Do you keep teaching them stuff they'd be learning in school? They aren't going to go outside and play with their friends down at the playground. You won't be taking them to the movies. They won't be hanging out at the mall or going to the local sports field to play sports. What will you do with them?
-
Nobody goes to the grocery store. You're not just going to be able to pop down to the local grocery store and buy more milk. After about a week, there isn't going to be any food on the shelves of any grocery stores. They rely on regular deliveries from truck drivers. Nobody is going to be making deliveries. None of the employees will be there. The grocery stores will all be empty or closed.
-
Nobody goes to restaurants. It's amazing (and appalling) how many Americans eat out 4 or 5 days a week now. Many Americans don't even bother cooking for themselves anymore. They go out to eat. But, all the restaurants will be closed. They will have no food deliveries and no employees working there. You won't be stopping by the drive thru of McDonalds for a quick snack.
-
Nobody goes to the gas station. Whatever gas supply you have on hand is what you have. You won't be swinging down to the Exxon to fill up your tank. You won't be able to pop by the gas station to refill your 5 gallon container to run your generator. There won't be any fuel shipments to the gas stations and none of the employees will be there to help you anyway. The pumps will be shut off.
-
Nobody will be travelling. Lots of people think: "When the SHTF, I'm going to grab my bug-out bag and head out to my country property to get away from the city". No you won't. Nobody will be allowed on the roads. You're not going anywhere. They'll tell you to turn around and go back home. You're not going to drive to your mom's house out in the country. You're stuck in the city. There will be no air travel either. You won't be driving to the airport and hopping on a flight. Nobody will be going anywhere.
-
Whatever food you have on hand is what you have. That's it. Grocery stores will be closed. You might go next door and try asking your neighbor for some food. But, they will be concerned about their supplies too. They aren't going to give you anything because they might need it for themselves. After 7-10 days, people are going to start getting really hungry and really desperate. First, they'll ask nicely. Then, after the 6th or 7th day, they'll start DEMANDING that you give them food. By the 10-15th day, they'll become violent. They will be willing to shoot you and your family to get food. By then, they'll feel like they are starving to death.
-
You might not ever have access to "money" again. After the global financial collapse, the dollar as we know it might be replaced by something else. It might take time for all of that to happen. You could have $200K in your savings account but, all of that disappeared overnight. You now have a promise from the Government that (eventually) you will get your money back. The best they can do for now is to give you some coupons for a few hundred bucks to hold you over. In the end, you may not actually get your full $200K back. You might only get $30,000 or $40,000 out of it. Whatever you haven't converted into TANGIBLE assets will be gone.
-
The Internet will probably go down. Most people think: "It's OK if I'm stuck at home and not working, at least I can stay in touch with people via the Internet". But, if a major crisis starts to happen, the Internet may be shut down temporarily. You may not have access to cellular networks or social media sites. You may not be able to come to /v/QRV to find out what is going on. The only "news" you will get is whatever they are telling you on TV and on the Radio. If there is important information that you need off the Internet, now is the time to retrieve it and store it offline.
These are just off the top of my head. But, what other PRACTICAL effects will Martial Law have on your daily life?

Effects? We can round up the socialists.
Good enough.

Yes, that is a positive side effect. YOU personally won't be doing anything. If they catch you roaming around the streets outside your house, you'll be arrested or shot. But what effects will martial law have on YOU? Inside your house? You might be stuck there for 3-4 months? Without working. Without money. How is that going to work?
