“In all seriousness, it’s different now. The hyperbolic curves bear it out. Get with me in a couple of years and we can compare notes - assuming it even takes that long.”
Once again, the same thing I’ve been told since 1965.
I’m old but if I’m still around in a “couple of years” I’ll be glad to listen once again.
I’ve heard this stuff my whole life as well (I’m 68). I see what’s happening now as very different and absolutely historic. And it is international.
In all seriousness, this time it’s different. By several orders of magnitude. IMO
