I don’t think anyone will even be upset - remember the frog in the pot? When the heat i9s being turned up gradually, he doesn’t notice he is being cooked, until he is completely done.
I think we are halfway cooked already and have no strength to even jump out of the pot, much less do anything else.
Maybe we shouldn't have had that last BBQ sandwich .... or the side of seasoned curly-fries .....
Too many years of good living will ruin a people faster than just about anything.
