Degringolade

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.
