I wrote an essay about the Dali from the perspective of an engineer. I was reading some pretty wild stuff and realized that people are trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together but without the total picture.
I agree with the wait on the bridge but people appear to be getting cancer a lot more within 2 years of getting the mRNA shot. Lot of people seem to be dropping dead unexpectedly or ‘after a brief illness’. I don’t see how anything will ever be proven but it’s suspicious as hale.
The competency test is going to be in the cleanup. Now that the search for survivors is over, the highest priority is reopening the port. This is going to require the biggest floating cranes they can find and some very skilled labor to cut up the trusses. The Dali needs to be stabilized and towed to a dry dock. HAZMAT and pollution containment are huge issues. It looks Pete Buttigieg is the point man for the administration on all this. Seeing how Buttigieg's competency has been widely questioned in the past, and this is an election year, I'm sure the administration sees this as a huge opportunity to score political points with a competent cleanup.
So the key statistic is, how long does it take them to get the port open? If it's less than one week after the wreck, I'd call that a clear win for Biden. Less than one month demonstrates competency. The longer the problem stretches on beyond a month the more this becomes an albatross around the neck of Buttigieg and Biden.
My gut feeling is that Team Biden is going to come out of this looking good albeit at a huge cost to the federal taxpayer. It's also an opportunity for them to rain emergency cash on a city and state full of their deep-blue allies.
So then, having been perhaps treated like an outlaw by those around you, when all of this pass would you not be inclined to a reassuring confirmation bias? Of course.
The problem is the whole Solzhenitsyn meme: We know they are lying. They know they are lying. They know that we know they are lying. We know that they know we know they are lying. And still they continue to lie.
Everywhere and all times total rubbish is stuffed down the throats of the right about things like sex differences, racial/ethnic group differences, "science" etc. The right knows these are lies, but the middle path is not a good recipe for sanity unless you are an extremely recalcitrant individual. So a normal person takes such "evidence" to construct a bulwark against the palpable propaganda they know is false. Unfortunately, it is very often wrong, but the other choice for normal people is slow capitulation to the progslop of the Global American Empire.
I like the Max's razor proposal. In many cases, I think the most probable explanation is the most commonly identified cause in the end. That explanation tends to be "boring" as you say. The lies and manipulation of data by officials has inspired many people to just jump into wide speculation on many topics. The issue is that we simply do not have the time to research information (especially with the obfuscation by corrupt officials and massaging of data) that we often have to go with our gut feeling. There are some alternate voices with real expertise whom we can appeal to but authorities easily type-cast those people as conspiracy theorists unless the individuals are very judicious in their wording (i.e. Alex Berenson on the lockdowns and vaccines). So when I saw the lights go out on the Baltimore boat and learned of the possible engine failure, I did not think it was some hacking but rather poor maintenance and/or complacency on the local pilots who maneuver these vessels all the time. When I learned that the media would not reveal much about the crew or the circumstances, I thought it probable that the ship likely had a history of incidents or did not fit in with the media's favorite bad guy image. Time will tell. I think it's also because the media loves to jump on any story that suits their agenda, so the public is now feeling emboldened to do the same as the first explanation is often the one that people remember rather than any later retraction (i.e. many people still claim that Kyle Rittenhouse shot two black individuals and that a Capitol police officer died due to head trauma from a fire extinguisher). In terms of the Covid vaccines, I think it most probable that the companies saw major profit opportunities and Fauci saw funding for himself/NIH in rushing this novel approach. There have been too many people in my immediate circle to come down with sudden cancer or strokes at a young age for me to believe the shots harmless. Now I do not believe they were depopulation mechanism or anything. It was rushed, not fully researched for certain side effects, and used a cheaper processing approach for mass production than in the clinical trial.

The way I interpret your razor, you are certainly correct, but for the dispassionate, how could it be otherwise?
So why all of he crankery about bridges, vaccines and diversity hires?
Simple. Sanity, or mental stability, has an immune system.
We were told that the vaccines prevented transmission by people like Walensky despite knowing that was completely untrue. Now, if for ideological reasons, say strong pro-life tendencies, you did not want to get the vaccine since you were relatively young and not terribly fat, you still had a significant portion of the country wanting to throw you in a camp (https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/partner_surveys/jan_2022/covid_19_democratic_voters_support_harsh_measures_against_unvaccinated).
