    Guess we’ll just have to deal with things being slightly more inconvenient for awhile then

    “we” wouldn’t even have to be inconvenienced, and would likely have our quality of life actually increase if only a small group of people would be willing to part with money they’re hoarding that they couldn’t use even if they lived a thousand lifetimes.
