That's the point though- people tried playing by the rules, the system shat in their faces. Now you have people snapping and going vigilante with guns and that's called consequence.

Yeah, I get that this is an inevitable outcome. But now that we're talking about it, instead of putting every CEO's head on a spike, let's try to do something more constructive. You know like creates systemic change to close the wealth Gap.
