Yes, of course they are... the time for speculation and "waiting and seeing" was like 2 years ago (and that is already late)

This is the part that Americans do not seem to get. You guys do not take to the streets because you immediately associate that with death (and to be fair, there is that risk); however, waiting only makes the odds of you ending up in one of these places (or dead) higher by the day

If you think taking to the streets today is dangerous, it will be suicidal next year and guaranteed death the one after
