  • Part of the problem with your sentence is the implied “I don’t trust the government at all” mentality, which is just as ill-informed as saying “I completely trust the government”.

    It’s how conspiracies flourish.

    Literally, all you have to do to distill down any conspiracy is to say, “I don’t trust the government, therefore…” and you can start filling in the blanks.

    Trust law? FCC? Roads? Plumbing? Water treatment? Work safety? The weather? Phones? Batteries? Etc

    Are they perfect? Fuck no. But government regulations have helped save so many lives and improved many more. And yes, it needs further improvements.

    But to gut it to the point of complete distrust and Indiana Jones-ing the idol for a bag of sand, is just gonna get you a giant fucking boulder that crushes everything in its path.
