I did my best to talk to people, but nobody wanted to listen.

"Won't someone think of the statistics" was the standard cry. "If you have
nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear". "Given what people share on
Facebook..."

I gave up. If people don't want to see the problem, they won't see it until
their confected reality is brought crashing down.

Right about now, that sky is looking pretty damned unstable, it'll fall on
their heads any minute...
