It’s sad that both WSJ and Gizmodo are writing about this like it’s worthy news, because we’d rather be reading about USPs being B.S. because it’s easier to get people to distrust the government that way, whether or not it’s true, double negative true, or quadruple negative true, than it is to point at things like:

- War in Israel-Palestine-Yemen-Syria-Iran, war in Ukraine-Russia with threat of spill into Europe-Scandinavia-U.S., threat of U.S.-China-Taiwan war in West Pacific, along with India-Pakistan attacks, but it’s a lot of proxy and posturing because anything serious would be stupid.

- Declaring martial law in L.A. for people protesting dictatorial evacuation and tariff war nonsense.

People have their fists fully up their asses.






I wouldn't expect Gizmodo to write about those things because it's not really their beat, but has the WSJ not covered those subjects? I'm not a subscriber, but they sound like things the WSJ would cover.
