What about the DOGE checks and the tariff rebate checks? Such a lying scumbag. Also isn’t this illegal?

    I’m more pessimistic than you. Z I’m not an expert but I’ve worked with a lot of people who think “spinning” or “exaggerating” to get out of trouble, or get what they want is perfectly okay.

    I think people lying is normal everywhere not just the US. And I don’t think that is a sensational thing to say. Even excepting if the vast majority of lies might be considered small or petty, I think that only puts it closer to 50 percent but no where near 49

      Like I said, there’s nowhere that lying isn’t perfectly normal, it’s just a matter of degrees. Some countries still make some attempt to ground their fundamentals in reality. Others don’t even make that much effort and go all in on the delusional. If you spend too much time in the fantasy land that is the US, it’s easy to get really pessimistic about finding something real, but other places are less “all vibes, all the time.”
