Or is it just me who thinks it has?
Among the people I talk to, there seems to be a general feeling that the World is being governed and led by morons without a thread of common sense between them.

I’m depressed. It seems everywhere I look worldwide, there is nothing but bad news. Covid-19, Trump, China, Russia and Europe, I’m sick of it all.
I’d like to be on an island somewhere with no information good or bad about the outside world.
