Except that process takes another year or so.

Oh how wonderful, keep the lower classes down.

How delightfully racist.

edit: I'm sorry. TIL what upshot actually means.

Please don't be that guy and actually learn what the OP meant before jumping on the name calling wagon.

The usage of upshot simply means the final outcome - neither a good thing or a bad.

It is very confusingly worded. People nowadays often use it the same as "upside". I've been confused by this word before and this is what I found when I looked it up (http://grammarist.com/usage/upshot/). The dictionaries still seem to only have the older definition but I've personally run into the newer definition more often in the wild.
