Since 2012, hopes have been dashed for an easy discovery of physics BSM at the LHC. Particular disappointment has arisen due to a lack of smoking gun evidence for supersymmetry (SUSY). This leaves us to ask questions like: how is SUSY constrained in light of these null results? And, could evidence of SUSY be lurking in the data un-noticed, and if so, what properties would it have? I'll discuss a set of CMS searches for new physics carried out with proton-proton collision data collected between 2016 and 2018, and their interpretation in terms of a 19-parameter scan of the "OG" SUSY model, the MSSM. Then, I'll bring in dark matter experimental data and considerations of naturalness, and try to set your expectations for the prospects for SUSY's discovery, falsification, or something in between.
