Blind Assuage

‎6.9 million in 2030.

that's easily:

7.0 million in 2031

8.0 million in 2041

9.0 million in 2051

How different is 'a worst case scenario' from a pretty horrid best case scenario?

I shall boldly infer a 'best' case scenario being:

6.5 million in 2031 (or 6 million)

7.5 million in 2041 (or 7 million)

8.5 million in 2051 (or 8 million)

(projections if you happen to be a blind optimist)

this isn't give me liberty of give me death.

this is more like give me stage 4 cancer or give me death.

call a spade a spade.

call a flood a flood. (not ponding)

call a crowd a crowd. (3000 - 4000 is not 'a handful')

call a lack of planning and unexamined assumptions and landed egos as blunders.

not glorify consistent blunders as examining experience, blame nature, and prod the people when you paint yourselves into a corner

those who have had enough, kee chiu!
