This is interesting, Millennials Don't Trust Anyone

Millennials are people age 18 to 29 in the United States.

The % of them that they "sometimes trust" or "never" trust the following institutions is surprisingly high and implies that even with education, these institutions have a problem with their future clients.

Percentage that "sometimes trust" or "never" trust the following institutions

The Press - 88%
Wall Street - 86%
Congress - 82%
Federal Government - 74%
The President - 63%
The Supreme Court - 58%
Local Police - 50%


The danger of such distrust is nihilism because we need society to function well and that required both participation and sound governance.
