I am at the point where I believe every agency head, cabinet secretary, member of congress and, it pretty much goes without saying, POTUS, is corrupt and on the take from one or more benefactor or the other: Pharma, military industrial, Wall Street, oil, wind, solar, China, Russia, Ukraine, Iran, whatever. Every. Single. One. The only alternative explanation is that we have a collection of the most willfully ignorant and monumentally incompetent humans on earth populating our federal government. The former seems more plausible than the latter since even the most incompetent but well-meaning dolt would endeavor to improve the lives of average Americans instead of making them poorer, less free, less healthy, or dead.
Yep. Unless Hanlon was Machiavelli. As one raised on the Bible, which is the oldest and biggest conspiracy narrative—Evil out to erradicate all God-imagers from the Earth—I always assume people are evil before dumb.
Yeah I think it lets evil get away with too much to assume dumb before evil too. However there is a lot of evidence that these fuckers are dumb. I mean they’re even taking the vaccine themselves!
Honesty is besieged everywhere, in every era. Of course, the royals casually despise the peasantry, but no one really hates peasants more than ambitious peasants.

Hanlon’s Razor says to assume stupidity before malevolence. I really do think people are that stupid. Even scientists. ESPECIALLH scientists.

I agree. Corrupt to the core.
