In a moment of honesty and epiphany the other day (when it comes to the Coronavirus Crisis), Debbie turned to me and said, "I am so sick of the people who are supposed to KNOW what's going on and what to do, telling us something one day, and then changing their mind the next!"

Further, it's been my observation that once their mind is changed, they then look and talk to you like you were stupid for not knowing this about-face in advance!  Look, I get that information is ever-evolving, but you don't have to act in the condescending manner that is pervasive.

It's one reason, I've pretty much stopped watching morning news shows (ie "The Today Show", "GMA", etc.), and have even decided that whatever Anthony Fauci says...I'm waiting a couple of days to see if he contracts himself (this has happened NUMEROUS times, btw)

Want a perfect illustration of what I'm talking about?
