I don't know, you might be underestimating how much damage the orange in charge is really doing to the interests of the US. Change is slow, and the subtle things set in motion are always perceived too late. A simple example would be a small county in germany saving 5+ million a year thanks to moving away from microsoft. Add that to the budget of the many (largely european) opensource projects out there , and you can see things can shift, slowly, but rapidly once noticed.

No, I just think we’re underestimating how bad it’s gonna get. The lag of understanding is real.

People are still waffling. It’s got to get bad enough there won’t be any waffling.
