🧱 Trust is Infrastructure.
It’s what makes democracy legitimate.
Society functional.
And markets work.
When trust is strong, systems run smoothly.
When it collapses, everything gets heavier - more rules, more friction, more cost.
This isn’t about optimism or being “nice.”
It’s about system design.

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority?
ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles
