s the funny part. The guy who stole my package, he had to know I had a video camera there. And the funny part is he's looking for it. So you don't see that on the video I posted, but he backs up. He's got the package in his hand and he realizes that he still has a chance to put it down if he sees a video camera. Right then it's not quite a crime yet. So you see him holding the package and he has that thought and then he does this and then he leaves because he doesn't see the cameras. Let's just say he missed more than one. I'm not going to have one video camera at my front door. I've got cameras. I don't even know where they are. I can see anything on my house.

So anyway, I sent it to Amazon and they asked for some stuff that's hard for me to find, and I probably won't follow up, but we'll see. And by the way, have you ever had trouble with customer support? You try to get them on the phone or the chat thing and it just takes forever and doesn't work. But I find that if you have a certain amount of followers on Twitter, you don't need to use customer support anymore. You just tweet it. And I honestly feel bad when I do it because I know not everybody can do it. It's just sort of a special situation. But when I tweet something like this, it takes about five minutes for the corporate office to stop what they're doing. So I always laugh. There's somebody who stopped what they're doing today at DoorDash. Somebody's schedule was a little bit different today.

All right. AP has a story out. They say that public trust has eroded, public trust especially in the news. And what do you think that's about? Here's what the AP said. They said for experts who study misinformation — it's good to know that there are experts who study misinformation, experts, huh? Where does misinformation come from? Well, that's another story. But the experts who study misinformation in human cognition, they say the fraying of trust, this is the AP tweet, the fraying of trust is in part tied to the rise of the internet and the way it can be exploited on contentious issues of social and economic change.

So there you have it. So the reason for the change in trust is something about the internet and the way it can be exploited. I guess that's one way to frame it. That's one way. What would be — can anybody, let's brainstorm a little bit — can anybody think of another reason the public would not have trust in the news? What would it be? Would it be because the news stopped even trying to report news and just started making up? I'm just going to throw that out as a hypothesis.

Could it be that the public noticed that the news is not true? But not only did we notice it's not true, because I think we could have been okay with that because that would just look like a mistake. We all understand that the news gets updated, so I don't think people would have a problem with it just being a mistake. Am I right? I mean, we'd complain about it, but we'd get over that. A mistake's a mistake. Everybody makes them.

But when you realize that the news is intentionally fake, intentionally fake, then the correct response is to not trust it. Now, shouldn't the story be the public has finally wised up that the news is intentionally fake and now they're reacting completely rationally and appropriately? And it's good news that they don't believe this anymore. Isn't it good news? Why are they reporting it like there's something wrong with the public and there's something wrong with some bad characters and maybe something about the internet, when really it's just people like the AP? Isn't it just the news literally and obviously making up? That is the problem. Am I wrong about that?

Now, imagine if you will, I would imagine the AP and their experts would argue something like this. I'm just speculating because I don't know what they would say. But I think they would argue something like this. They would say, but we're not talking about the news reports. We're talking about the crap that you see on the internet. Yeah, now this isn't the topic. We're not talking about the news, you know, we as his problems, but we're talking about rumors on the internet that people believe. That's really the topic we're talking about.

To which I say, do you think people would believe rumors on the internet if they had a reliable news source that could tell them if that stuff was true or not? Don't you think it matters that they can't check if it's true? The
