I acknowledge that the government has access to all kinds of information that I don’t have. They could have reasons for doing what they’re doing that I don’t know about or understand. But that is also the exact argument we heard during COVID, when all of the people with more information chose a course of action that was disastrous for the country, and we still haven’t recovered. I understand that this is a different situation. Maybe the outcome will be different too. But you have to understand that the “trust the experts” logic died with COVID and it’s never coming back. From now on and forever more the experts will need to make their case clearly and coherently, explain exactly what they’re doing and why they’re doing it and what the end game is and what information justifies whatever course of action they’ve chosen. Just simply trusting that they have it all under control is not going to work anymore. At least for those of us with a memory that stretches back farther than last week.
