The 'nothing will ever happen' crowd should always be ignored, as a rule.
it's been said
"There are decades where nothing happens; and then there are weeks where decades happen", and it's so plainly the truth.
Our clever foes have worked desperately to keep one hundred different lids on one hundred different kettles, swiftly coming to a boil..
and yes, for years, they've managed it..
but to assume they'll be able to do this indefinitely, forever, is the most historically illiterate (and defeatist, and nihilistic, and illogical) stance imaginable.
Don't be the small, demoralizing fool, at the moment when the opposite is most needed.
