Mainly, IMHO, sensationalist "journalism" like this is much more of a reason why we can't have nice things, compared to the actual event predicted (which likely isn't going to happen, at least not to the extent described).
Don't take an article like this at face value, they will omit any complicating or narrative disruptive facts and will often mislead with regards to cause and effect or timing (via omission or phrase juxtaposition).
The first "damning" sentence throws out a sensationalistic claim about "bloodshed and suffering".
This is not mentioned again in the article, is certainly not substantiated in the article, and doesn't look like it's substantiated anywhere else on the site, either.
What's the "truth" behind the headline then? Genuine question, I totally agree that it sounds a bit "too bad to be true" especially without more context. But what's the other side of this story?
It really does read like a scare mongering fear article. Including mention of problems but no concrete followup with current details, or at the very least a mention of no resolution to the issue as of a specific time of fact-finding.
