The Goal Post Episode 40 - States of Incompetence

Took a break last weekend due to busy schedules. Also apologies from Vernon - running on 3hrs of sleep or less and was very easily distracted and exhausted.

A common theme among most of the subjects today was governmental bodies being untrustworthy and making constantly bad decisions.
