Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance

Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn

Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

Lesson 4: If you are peddling the "trust in govt" has dropped because of proceduralism, you either don't understand the study of trust or don't care. It has dropped in all countries and all institutions over the same time period. It is mostly driven by perception of politics not govt services.
Mr. Trump’s actions on deportation, tariffs and the use of military force in the Caribbean are almost certainly abuses of power. But they’re also a break from the public-sector incompetence that has helped erode faith in government to 22 percent, from almost 80 percent in the 1960s. My argument isn’t that Democrats should ignore the law. Nor am I suggesting that we go back to the Moses era.

regrettably if you try to point this out online you'll get yelled out by 79208 journalists going OH SO YOU WANT JOURNALISTS TO STARVE??? even if you're, say, a journalist yourself, and point out that while there are clearly no easy answers, the status quo isn't exactly working for society

Correlation confounded with causation fuels an assumption of incompetence when professionals do not meet expectations about 'what a professional looks like'.
Question: What does an observation of low representation tell us about the cause?
Answer: Nothing.
