I said the same thing to my folks. 
They were listening to music, and l asked why they dont listen to the news anymore. I remember when the radio would be on the whole day on low. They were like, whats the point of listening to that garbage?

It's funny you mention that. I had to drive my mom to a doctor's appointment out of town today and I was joking with my dad something to the effect that media and government keeping bullshitting everyone and seem shocked by the fact no one trusts them. So, I said "maybe stop lying to people. It's like asking why is this dog I beat every day not coming to me."

Gradually then Suddenly- Is Suddenly almost here? 

I think this morning's GDP and inflation numbers caused a bit of a tremor in the US. I was listening to Bloomberg Radio. They are 100 percent behind keeping up the illusion that the economy is great to ensure Biden's reelection, but they were grasping at straws this morning. Maybe it was my imagination, but they seemed to be aware for the first time that people weren't buying their bullshit.
