    Because being screwed (or knowing someone who was screwed) by an insurance company, Luigi Mangione’s action seemed to gain universal support.

    One of the things that I wonder is: how can we get people pissed at the right people about things like price gouging, predatory landlords (especially those large rental companies), and the baking systems. Everyone is being screwed by their grocery stores and the banking systems, and many by their landlords. Yet, it seems like we can’t get traction in the right direction regarding these things. Companies blame grocery prices on inflation and people believe it. The housing market is a mess, and many companies have bought up house to rent so there are less for people to buy, but there’s not much talk about that. And banking is predatory af and has been for a long time, and relying on credit unions doesn’t work for everyone, but it’s just accepted as part of life.

      Well, this is probably better for the messaging post. In a nutshell, we find a drum and beat it endlessly for a generation.

      There is such a thing as too much, and it’s okay to say so.

      Message discipline is what turns diffuse anger into focused actions.
