- gaius 8y agoThat is completely true. But it is also true that if someone says X will happen in time T and at time T+1 it hadn’t happened then warning of X won’t be taken seriously next time, even if they only meant to highlight the urgency of the situation by presenting a shorter timeframe. It will be difficult to communicate that “this time we really mean it”. That’s the fundamental problem right now.
