Inspired by a few other posts and memes flying about. When I was young movies and tbh real life you would come across old people telling you that can’t trust the gov. To keep your cash at home etc. tell em nothing.
I am feeling it. I always assumed maybe about 60 it will happen to me. I kinda linked it to idle minds or a cognitive decline but lack of trust for me has arrived a lot earlier and I think I can rationalise to myself it’s more based on the gov actions rather than my circumstances.
So wha do you think in the magic age number that trust in the gov erodes? I’ll start. 42.
I was 16 on 9/11. I remember watching john Ashcroft the Friday before talking about how the Pentagon couldn’t account for billions of dollars. Then i wake up on Monday morning to the planes hitting the towers.
I stopped trusting the government sometime around there
