 People, and their desire for lazy convenience, are the reason things become centralized. And a  minority of people fight against it.

 It is funny the wife and I were having a discussion about this same topic over coffee this morning and why are there so many pedophiles! 😭🤣

 Ha! It is actually your fault😆 if you wouldn’t have recommended the Mike Benz episode on Tucker, I wouldn’t have listened to the Daryl Cooper episode which led me to his podcast. now I am listening to 51/2 hours on Epstein and the international pedophile and sex trafficking rings that are world “leaders” seem to be heavily involved in. 🤷🏻‍♂️

 Isn’t it mind blowing? 
I had no idea how much corrupt stuff was going on everwhere. 
I actually got depressed about it for a while before I could come to terms with it, and realize how valuable the good people in my life are.

 So depressing. I can only laugh because I can’t really deal with it.

 It made me value God and people more. Especially good honest people.

 I think a good 60% of the time it is. We all just don’t see it until later. It’s hard to relearn things
