I know i'm going to get a ton of shit for this, but i really am not a doomer. I think this is a legitimate question...
IN THEORY: What if all of this has all been misunderstood, and isn't what we all think? Is there a plan B, C, D etc. if what we are waiting for doesn't happen for one reason or another?
No. Not as far as I know. People were asking what the plan and backup plan were in 2018. I still don’t know, but it appears that something is being implemented.
