Nope.
We can’t trust “facts.”
We can’t trust “science” when “science” has an agenda.
We can’t trust anything we see in the media. The media is owned by capitalist soulless assholes, I mean billionnaires, who have an agenda.
We can’t trust anything a corporation tells us. Even “facts” like how much energy we’ve used read from our “smart meters.” Can we really trust that ANY of that data is correct?
Nope, we can’t trust anything anymore. Is it a wonder why ppl are depressed? Like yes, I’m depressed about MY life, but I’m also fucking depressed about this world. Or at least life in the USA. Maybe things are better in other countries (Sweden, Norway, etc) but jesus christ, life seems pretty shit and pretty rigged in almost every way possible, down to our “smart meters.”
1984 is here.
We are doomed.

Well, part A; it’s Houston. Oh my do I have a lot to say about Houston. If there is a direct portal to hell, Houston is on the short list. It’s been hit by more hurricanes but they just keep rebuilding. if there was a god he’s trying to take out that city. That city shouldn’t exist. People there are living on borrowed time. ALSO, no zoning. AS IN, there’s no such thing as zoning laws down there. See that land over there? Anything you want. Sewage plant? SURE! WHY NOT?! I mean maybe there’s SOME KIND of mitigating factor, but this is what I’ve heard.
also humid, you think you know humid, Houston is one of the most humid locations on the planet.
and that power utility is the Texas power utility, famous for corruption, so we’re not talking about any regular power utility that might have a reputation for fair or good business practices (my local is actually one of the better ones, but there’s one mid state where I’m traveling later that’s hell on wheels).
No one wants to live in Houston, or so I have gathered. I worked for a natural gas company, and all the oil and natural gas companies have big headquarters down there. No idea why, must be the entrance to hell, they’ve gotta mine it. Anyway, my boss, great guy, loved baseball, he fought and fought to stay with us, but eventually they offered him enough money he moved to Houston……. he was STILL mad about it. Can you imagine, getting a huge windfall and still being mad, because Houston sucks THAT MUCH.
Anyway, that was the poison pill, killed our whole office, because everything Houston touches dies.
I hate Houston. Like where I live is no picnic, but it’s a paradise in comparison to Houston. Houston should be the location of a prison for our worst convicts, the ones who do stuff to kids, and also corperate criminals, because those guys suck really bad too……. and you know, proximity to hell, gotta be good for their personal demons.
I like to think there’s a spectrum of trust. On one end you have people like….. the ice cream guy. You can probably trust him, to give you good ice cream, that’s nice. On the other hand you have……….. Oil men in Houston. You can’t trust them to do anything but screw ya. Houston power is probably infected with em. Lateral integration you know, they can’t make any more money selling pipe, so they start selling “smart meters”
Here electricity company employees sometimes do ‘average’. They calculate total unit consumption of an area, then divide it with number of meters installed and send everyone same or similar bills. They do it when they’re lazy or when they want to extract money from electricity thieves.
I think one of the biggest curses is the fact that we have so much info at our disposal.
We don’t need to remember a lot of mundane things because we all have computers in our pockets that can get us all to this information. It’s really overwhelming a lot of the time.
Along with that, there’s so much conflicting information. Combine that with the various agendas you’ve mentioned, and it’s so hard to parse through it all and form your own opinion a lot of the time.
I can see why sometimes people recommend slowing down internet and social media usage and phone usage to try to rebalance one’s self.
I don’t know much about Houston, but I have the experience of not living in the continental US and I know many people who’d rather be in Houston than where they are currently. A lot of little things that some take for granted are huge for others.
Anyways, you make good points overall.
