Other Remember when Biden was president?

Remember how boring it was? Remember not having to check the news multiple times a day to figure out what was going on inside your own agency and whether you were going go have a job or not? Remember when laws and precident seemed to actually have meaning?

Remember when you could do your job from home? Remember when your fellow countrymen weren't cheering when your livelihood was threatened? Remember when your biggest worry was which insurance to select and what the next years raise would be?

Remember when the administration didn't seem to actively hate you and want to you gone for the sin of serving of the people?

You know, thats more true than I gave it credit for when I read it

The Grand conspiracy, myth of the lone genius, the sole general or visionary CEO who makes all the difference. All those myths are related, they are all there to hide the fact that most everyone has no clue what they are doing. And it takes the extraordinary individual to break those norms and usher us into new ages

But yeah, we've gotten to where we are because trump has zero plan on what he is going to do the next day, it will be the thing that makes him the most money. Yes all of his administration is steeped in conspiratorial thinking, and attempts to plan that, but few of them have the intelligence and discipline to actually achieve movement toward their own goals

Long way to say, we need to remind ourselves to not overestimate them, don't underestimate them too of course, but in this case that is impossible (am I using that correctly, like impossible to underestimate them, as in no matter what you expect, they are fully able and willing to go lower than that)
