SPENCER PRATT: We need to start a doomsday panic scorecard.

Every time someone declares a civil war, or climate apocalypse, or nuclear armageddon & WW3 for the 9,000th time, it never comes to pass, but we just move on, so 5 months later they do it again, and people fall for it, again.

The apocalypse isn’t happening in your lifetime, folks. The real shit is some overpaid bureaucrat in your municipal water district is gonna get lazy with their emails, and your reservoir is gonna be empty when some other overpaid state park bureaucrat forgets to monitor a smoldering plant for an entire week, then your entire town burns up in a wildfire, your grandma burns alive and then 400 more people die from accelerated cancers from the toxic smoke.

Buying into these theatrical fantasies of global catastrophe only serves our corrupt government, distracting you from the true menace in your life. It’s so exhausting. I used to indulge in these catastrophic conspiracy theories, but I had to learn the hard way that it’s just plain old government incompetence that’s the biggest threat to your daily life.

Read the whole thing. Perhaps the reason why people who’ve grown up in the 1970s tune these sort of doomsday scenarios is that we’ve seen them repeated in various forms over and over again.

Besides, aren’t we all dead today? According to a 1960 study, overpopulation was going to end the world on Friday.

No one’s hands are clean here. However, Mr. Secretary Buttigieg, you had four years in the job and infrastructure money, yet made zero progress modernizing the FAA. You left a failing system in place. THANKS!
