At this point in time I am feeling rather daunted by the behavior of some people, particularly politicians and government instrumentalities, whose responsibility it is to look after the welfare of the citizens, which includes the quality of the environment (the water, soil and air) that our health, and in fact our existence, depends on.
Related to this is the attitude that government has to do with marketing nonsense & then behaving vindictively when it is questioned rather than presenting accurate information for discussion.
A similar problem exists for schools; the government bureaucrats are more interested in slave training children and school league tables than in education.
