Exactly. I was born and raised in California and they’ve been saying this since 1972. It’s like predicting the Second Coming: Nobody knows when it will be, but the last person that says it before it happens (in it’s own sweet time) gets to say “I told you so.”
1972 my a**. I’ve been hearing about since at least 1965, and I’m sure it’s been a topic since at least the mid ‘30s.
