I agree with you, but just want to politely add that it didn't really sneak up on us, we were warned from the beginning, we just ignored it.

It's like in the story about the frog in the pot of hot water, if someone keeps telling the frog, "you know, that water isn't going to stop getting hotter," and the frog is saying "seems fine to me, I think you worry too much."

The frog just sits around in the pot, but we turn the majority of our society into boiling pots; when the frog decides it's too warm after all and jumps out, we have nowhere to go.

On a side note, too bad the frog story is false.
