"But it's haaaaaard" - the response to every minor challenge in America since landing on the fucking Moon

Pretty sure at this point it'd be more of a "But I don't wanna spend an extra penny on this prooooojeeeeeect" kinda deal. I know people who would definitely do it, but the bigger problem is getting people in power to actually pay to have it done.

Though I do agree there are so many people here in America who would complain that it's too hard.

I think the current problem is more "it's risky and hasn't been tested much"

And yes, it's obviously still hard.
