Do you ever wonder just how stupid people could get and then no matter how low you put the bar "THEY" keep proving that you vastly overestimated the level of stupidity that is achievable?

Watching the news every evening I am constantly amazed at the level of human stupidity. Even worse is the morons that we keep electing and putting into 'leadership' positions. All this "woke" / "PC" shitte, all this LGBTxyz garbage and so on and so on and so on.

I keep wondering just how stupid we can be as we're spiraling around the toilet bowl. We're not going into the Great Reset, we're headed into the GREAT FLUSH!! I think I'm beginning to understand how the Romans felt with everything crumbling within and surrounded by enemies at the gate.

Goodness before greatness.
The lowest common denominator has been unleashed with those foolish enough to be the front line shock troops for the progressives on their long march from community-convergence-of-communal-to communism.

One tribe.

One hive.

Impervious to reason or morality they will not stop. They don’t feel empathy. They cannot feel pain...

...Sorry, just watched Original Terminator last week with Kyle Reese and his description of a Terminator.

As my friends from 1981 down South would say...

“This rice is cooked.”

While it is not necessarily a measure of stupidity, the accumulation of wealth over a lifetime can provide some indication.

The net worth it takes at every age to be richer than most people you know
Age 66 to 70:
To be in the top 10%, you need a net worth of at least $1,712,000.
To be in the top 20%, you need a net worth of at least $852,300.
To be in the top 50%, you need a net worth of at least $218,500.

And then I realize . . . there are an awful lot of stupid people that make a butt load of money

and by the way, it you kind of shit yer pants a little:
Boston College's Center for Retirement Research calculates that, for the typical household approaching retirement age, the value of future Social Security benefits would be $287,200,.............................
which is greater than the top 50%.

The net worth it takes at every age to be richer than most people you know

The typical American household has a net worth of about $97,300. Here's the net worth it takes to be part of the top 20% of Americans at every age.

Carrying the mantle of doubt
Got some news for you. It's nothing new. The following is from H. L. Mencken, 1926:

No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby. The mistake that is made always runs the other way. Because the plain people are able to speak and understand, and even, in many cases, to read and write, it is assumed that they have ideas in their heads, and an appetite for more. This assumption is a folly.

I posted this in another thread about poisons.

This might be part of the reason we all are not as bright as we could be.

Does vintage and new functional pottery and dishware have unsafe levels of lead? Why is that a problem?

#AskTamara Question: Does vintage and new functional pottery and dishware have unsafe levels Of lead? Why is that a problem? Originally Published: August 18, 2013 Updated: December 28, 2019 Answer: Pottery & dishes often contain lead in the glaze or substrate. For decades potters have known...
tamararubin.com tamararubin.com

Old vintage dishware full of lead, and also more recent times dishes. (50's, 60's on up to today)
Im talking fine china and even Corelle dishes.

It isnt just dishes though.
Its coffee mugs, silverware, kitchen appliances, kids toys, jewelry, etc.

Didnt Rome have a problem with lead in their drinking water delivery system?

Brain damage is one of the consequences of lead accumulation in the body.

On top of the aluminum/etc dump in the air for decades, Im surprised any of us can walk and chew gum at the same time.

and yet they continue to be elected to hold public offices and make the laws that we TRY to live with
I have met people that I believe would be dead if breathing were not an involuntary action

Ernest P. Worrell got me through a lot of lonely shifts at the video store. Never Camp. That one was just dull. Saves Christmas made NO sense. He almost wasn't even in it.

But Jail and Scared Stupid were REGULARLY played on my shifts. Occasionally Ernest Rides Again would get a play, thanks to that awesome theme song.

2:08, There Once Was a Man Named Worrell, Ernest Rides Again theme.

The camp one? Dull? It was hilarious!
I admit, eggs erroneous wasn't THAT funny. The line with looking for the chaise lounge was terrific.

No but I have observed your assessment of the matter.
I'm thinkin that all of the foolishness related to the plandemic
has provided a much larger comfort zone for them so now they've surfaced ....

When everything you've been taught and told has been a lie, what can you expect from people. I was raised to be naive. Made a mess of my life because of it. Tried over and over to be smarter next time, not to make the same mistake again. But you can't win for losing. I won't live a long enough life to get it all straightened out. Thank God above there is something better in the next life.

Y'all I kid you not on this, yesterday evening I saw a guy riding his bike up the highway in a mask.....

We've got to quit wondering how stupid they can be cause they are gonna keep showing us and I for one just cannot comprehend how someone does NOT even have basic thoughts. Heck even my dog has thoughts. I know cause I can see him eyeing that plate of food someone just sat on the table and walked away from. He knows he's not supposed to go for it but I can see in his eyes that he's debating it. :lkick:
