There is a notable change in the way some people behave in my opinion. I have wondered why as well. From what I have seen in my areas is that there is an increase in suspicion and lack of trust. At my job for example, a coworker was found out to be hiding little recorders around the building. One of our managers spends every waking moment staring at the cctv cameras and watching old footage. He does this from home as well. Then there are people complaining about being followed all the time while out and about driving. I’ve overheard and been personally asked about if I have noticed it. It’s weird, as this seems to be the “vibe” in my neck of the woods.I guess you could say there are alot of people acting more shady than usual, and it’s bad enough that many others notice it as well. It’s surely a drastic change in the general social public atmosphere , and quite frankly, it sucks. There also seems to be a decrease in happiness, like everything is just bland, lame, no excitement , just boring and monotone.
