The level of idiocy on X is off scale.

Last fall, we had the “$140,000/year salary is poverty level income in the United States” idiocy take over X.

By spring time, we had the “Gen Z must spend $28 per day on lunch” nonsense – making your own lunch is eating prison food and living like a peasant, they said. And oh, we should be able to buy a modern 2400 sq ft home for the price of a 1200 sq ft home in 1960!

Then we had some Gen Z actually claim that today is worse than the Great Depression and those who lived through The Great Depression had it easy! I am not kidding! The level of stupidity on X is remarkable!

The nonsense went on from there … how and why did I get caught up in this giant waste of time?

The final straw was someone posting about physicians and nurse practitioners. I thought I was being nice by giving an example of two cases where NPs had helped us. I was being NICE.

I was attacked by an MD – who knew nothing about the cases – saying both NPs were incompetent (they were not) – and therefore, I was an idiot for saying something NICE about their having solved a couple of serious health problems. (In one of those, my wife was urgently sent to the local ER and hospitalized overnight, due to a life threatening issue.)

Another health care person piled on, saying more nasty things – all because I said something nice about 2 people.

Obviously, these two health care practitioners have a deep hatred of nurse practitioners. Being NICE branded me an idiot deserving of a public flogging.

I encountered numerous people who insist real world data is wrong – and their absurd ideas are the truth! No amount of data, facts or logic can correct their errors – X really is a platform for the frictionless spread of misinformation and propaganda nonsense.

Today I deleted almost all of my posts made since last November. Will delete more another day.

I have made my account “Private”.

Am in process of deleting Replies as well – I might need to subscribe to a 3rd party API service to do that – X has no bulk deletion or editing tools.

In the past month, I spent too much time on X due to sitting a lot – because of a hip injury.

I regret having wasted so much time on X.

I’ll keep the account so I can follow some topics like economics, finance and hobbies.

But I’m done posting or replying to others. X is a giant waste of time
