(8,753 posts)4. In the past I would be likely to agree
but this is a game changer. Its has been 17 years since this last happened. Most don't remember what this could turn into. The problems have yet to start. The weight of blame hasn't even started to break their backs yet. The absurdity of this situation and the cluster-fuck it will become for them will damn them to the cold dark wastelands for decades to come.
