This WTF Wednesday isn’t just a rant. It’s a full autopsy on why basic competence has collapsed in America.

I’m talking about the simplest tasks. Calling a pharmacy. Scheduling a doctor. Upgrading a phone. Everything that should take minutes now takes hours. And for millions of us, it feels like the entire country forgot how to function.

Everywhere you turn there’s another problem waiting for you. You try to check a prescription and the system’s down. You try to reach a human being and the phone tree traps you in circles. You show up for an appointment and they say it was canceled but can’t tell you why.

Even the places that used to run like clockwork are now tripping over their own shoelaces.

And it’s not just one industry. It’s healthcare. It’s banking. It’s retail. It’s technology that keeps failing at the exact moment you need it most.

You stand in lines that don’t move. You get messages that contradict the last message you got. You try to solve one simple problem and end up trapped in a maze where nobody knows anything and nobody can help you.

This episode digs into how incompetence has become the new national default. You see it everywhere. Fast food. Airlines. Doctors offices. Apps that ask you to do the work the company used to do.

We’re now living in a country where helping yourself is the only way to get help.

A culture of incompetence doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It spreads. It’s taught. It’s absorbed. People are overwhelmed and undertrained. Systems are overloaded.

The smallest problem becomes a chain reaction because no one has the tools or the bandwidth to get anything right the first time anymore.

This episode digs into that connection. How millions of people were taught that effort’s optional. How compassion’s weakness. And how that mindset’s helped collapse basic service and basic responsibility across the country.

If you’ve ever wondered why everything feels harder, slower, more chaotic, and more broken than it used to be, this episode’s for you.

It’s raw. It’s honest. It’s every frustration you’ve swallowed this year finally being said out loud.

And it all leads to one question. How do we fix a country where competence left the building and has no plans to return?

This is your Wednesday WTF episode.
