Government is a lot like every other entity out there, there are good people in it who generally want to help and serve the people/client and others who don't give a shit about anyone and are marking time and collecting paychecks/benefits. Politicians aren't the government by and large, just a part of it. Do I trust the government, for the most part yes. I've never had a single issue when I do my part and play by the rules they set forth. Do I believe taxation is theft, you bet but I still pay what I HAVE to pay after I find every loophole I can. As a business owner did I take advantage of the COVID loans, you bet, who wouldn't to get operating capital at a low rate. Have I paid it back, every cent. Do I trust the military, first responders, organizations helping others, yep. Do I trust politicians, hell no because I haven't seen one yet that actually did what they said they were going to do nor created more problems than they solved. Do I like FEMA, nope but I've learned to deal with them and what they are trying to do. When Emily was diagnosed with GBM, one of the most helpful people we had was a lady in the SS office who helped expedite the SSDI payments after she could no longer work through a special program for terminally ill people. She also went above and beyond to make sure the boys continued to receive the survivor benefits they are entitled to. Government is a necessary entity, inept at times, corrupt in many areas but does more good than harm overall.
Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

I'd go 1-2%. Heard a stat on a podcast the other day from one of the gun lobby groups that 90% of bought fire arms are never shot. Of the 10% that are fired after purchase more than half of those are shot once and closeted "for protection".
I asked a question a while back "how often do you practice with your concealed carry/EDC gun?' and the answers supported that 90-95% stat above.

well if you heard it on a podcast....
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
For anyone who has any trust in politicians, and particularly the Democrats, here’s a prime example of their strategies to manipulate their followers…

The mere fact that supposedly intelligent, educated southern men view this topic as a point of discussion is the problem.

We see what England's government is doing to it's people. To think that all the little socialist losers in our government aren't hoping to follow suit here is simply nuts...
This one seems trustworthy...
