They lose confidence, prices fall fast, and everyone tries to sell at the same time.

This House Prefers a world where SKIP technology exists and is widely accessible
Infoslide

For the purposes of this debate, the SKIP technology is a remote that allows a user to fast-forward through real-life events. When a user activates the technology, they are placed on ‘autopilot’ for the duration of the skipped time. While on autopilot, the individual's body continues to perform necessary, routine, and habitual actions, such as walking, driving a familiar route, or completing basic tasks. However, the person has no consciousness, emotional experience, or memory of the skipped period. They are physically present and functional, but they cannot engage in complex decision-making, creative thought, or meaningful interaction. This technology allows the user to make a deliberate choice to bypass specific situations and jump directly to a desired point in time.
