Scam Chatter

 Defining a scam: basically, a dishonest fraud, that you fell into....either with your heart, your money, or your vote.

Was FTX crypto currency a scam?  Yeah.....without any doubt, and you could have identified as such....maybe even two years ago.

Is the democracy we live in (the US) a scam?  You have a bunch of dishonest frauds elected and serving there.....taking your money.  So yeah, it's scam.

Is the university system now a scam?  Twenty years ago, I would have said no.  Today, I'd say about a quarter of the people graduating (non-engineers, non-science types, etc)....are about as stupid or marginalized....as they were in the 10th grade of high school.  So yeah, it's a scam.

Is Covid a scam?  As a virus?  No.  But if you go and talk about treatment, the vaccine business, or any of the hundred connected topics.....it's a scam as well.

Is the food pyramid a scam (the one you had in 8th grade health classes)?  People are all different, and your diet plan ought to be individualized....what works for Joe, might not be the best diet for Marty.  It's a joke and you can flip it either way....as to being a scam.

We live in an odd world....where we have a new scam introduced probably every single week.
