Biblical plague of mosquitoes......

.... OK, maybe that's an exaggeration, but all the rain over the last month+ has produced ideal conditions for mosquitoes in southeast Michigan -- they're everywhere and they're effing huge this year. (An anti-vax nut in my condo complex is convinced the swarm is lab-created to force the covid vaccine on people. Seriously.)

They think the government is completely incompetent and incapable of doing anything

and yet at the same time they also think the government is capable of pulling off these incredibly complex conspiracies that would require the complicity and silence of THOUSANDS of government officials and contractors to be able to mastermind and implement.

And at the same time a bungling, hideous, inept, bureaucratic, nightmare...amazingly, they CAN hold two beliefs at the same time.

To your anti-vax nut to be glad they are just mosquitoes, and not those horrible flying cockroaches in Southern Florida.

I've lived in Mobile all my life. In this wet humid weather, I've endured them for as long as I can remember. They are so bad this year that you can't go outside without some protection.
