Right. Our former neighbor, Gladys Kravitz, when discussing the vax, told me, “You have to trust the government”. Immediately, on instinct, I laughed in her face. Poor old lady - LOL.
When I came back stateside I thought it was different here. And it was. Mostly. Lots of incompetence and sheer stupidity but not a lot of actual malice.
About twenty five years ago I sensed a change. Less stupidity and more malice and then it hit a tipping point where I saw innocent people being ground up by the system for no real reason on a consistent basis.
Now, I trust none of them. I wish I was wrong.
