For some. I think the conversation topics around Europe make it very clear that it is not something that has gained force yet. There is growing awareness and a little bit more search for answers, while also marked understanding and anger as can be witnessed in the Netherlands, France, and elsewhere. Yet the train is not moving fast enough.

While I still say the future is not yet set in stone (give it five years to be certain), I think that is the most likely end state.
