    Slightly different tack … by the time most people recognise a problem, and feel like it’s happening “now”, the reality is that it started long ago, has been ramping up gradually for a while, but most people didn’t want to bother thinking about or doing anything about.

    Climate change being kinda obvious. The thing with Google and Chrome lately has been like 10 years in the making at least.

    Generally, IME, when something goes wrong even in someone’s personal life … there was something wrong the whole time being ignored. Just recently I spoke to someone about a recently divorced couple who were buying houses and planning long term things months before the divorce. I pointed out that it had to be that way as they were desperately hanging on to the idea that the marriage can work when in reality it had died years before.
