Quit complaining, expressway is a great idea

Change is messy and uncomfortable for many of us. When spotted approaching in the horizon, it is likely to be frowned upon, criticised or roundly dismissed.

Not that this reaction will stay forever. Depending on how the change eases in, and its utility eventually becomes apparent, it is likely to be a massive Damascus moment. The most vigorous critics will metamorphose into the loudest praise singers, marvelling at how their lives just got better. They will later loudly wonder how they managed to get by in those days before this development, conveniently forgetting that they were adamantly opposed to it previously.
