A bit over the top, but you're not wrong. We vilify tobacco companies for knowing that their products caused cancer but pushing them anyway. The tide is turning for oil and gas.

its not over the top, its under the top. it is only your social-triangulation-reflex that makes you feel its over the top. 4C is a fucking nightmare, no one should be at all unclear about that. I think aspects of 2C and most of 3C will be, but even if you think i'm too pessimistic you cannot dispute 4.

the "tide turning" is wonderful but we have very specific deliverables and deadlines to hit. lots of people love to give optimistic status updates at meetings for projects that are not going to hit their deadlines. the catch is, this time, "dead"line is not a metaphor.

You are correct. I was tone policing and I apologize.

This is a fucking nightmare scenario and people are making jokes about "farming in the Yukon and Siberia" as if that's a good thing.
