My big trouble with this last year is that I am now completely out of trust.  Empty.  Oh, I trust that my kids love me, I trust that the sun will rise in the east.  But trust in the tattered shreds of government and industry is gone.  

Now, it has been a long time coming.  I only started with a little bit.  But the serious decline started back in 2001 with the shrub and Colin Powell going to war against the wrong enemy (fuck you Saudi Wahabi’s) with a bunch of made up reasons.  It progressed through Obama, who in my mind was the slickest liar of the bunch, he spoke so purty he made you want to believe him, but he did nothing.  It got pretty bad with Trump, that asshat gave me the same feeling as a used car salesman.  Now we got Joe who has always been a bagman for the big money.

Nope, got no trust remaining.  This Covid shit broke it.  The data is hopelessly polluted with preconceptions and axes to grind.  The numbers being strewn around are being generated by a test that has been recalled because it sucks.  The people dying are usually folks with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.  The “vaccine” has only marginal utility.  Treatments are pretty damn limited and appear to be being suppressed to protect the EUA status of the “Vaccine”.  

Look.  I just don’t think that the data I am being shown makes any sense.  It is so full of contradictions and “strange counting” that I can’t trust the data.  Add to that problem the folks screaming at me to pay attention to them, that they have the answers.  I simply don’t think that answers are known at this point.

So, I will keep to myself, wear a mask in public, walk a lot to keep things moving, take lots of vitamins and minerals, and hope that I am part of the 95% that get through this thing if I catch it.

But I sure am not going to trust what other folks tell me unless I see a study with a valid sample size, a solid control group, and unambiguous results.  I am not aware of that many that flood of papers coming out that meet that criterion.

you are so right

Faith in things is being seriously shaken through this saga. They're all crooks. I have no faith in any government: half of people are below average. University administration? Suuuuure. So long as Uncle Phil keeps doling out the billions. Union? Don't make me laugh. All I can do is police myself and my ethics, and try not to get upset by what others get away with.

And I love that you know the singular of criteria, a distinction that is disappearing.
