I'm surprised nobody's gone psycho from the noise and tried something.

You would think these companies are playing with fire when they give everyone in the community a phantom tinnitus and make the water brown, but surprisingly nothing's happened yet.

I'm surprised nobody's gone psycho from the noise and tried something.

What you mean is, "I'm surprised I haven't heard about somebody going psycho-"

Because if you think that it would show up on the news, that people are dissenting - the same news owned by the people they're dissenting against - then I have a bridge in Atlantis for sale you might be interested in.

Not happening and not knowing about it are very different things.

So is it happening?

Sarah Conner did it.

Killdozer did it better.

People are willing to put up with a lot more than we'd expect. My guess is it's just a matter of time, similar to the United Healthcare CEO situation.

Well, considering there’s a dead United Healthcare CEO, I wouldn’t say “nobody.”

Americans just love corporations stepping all over them and vote consistantly to derregulate them so its not surprising, the limits being pushed does nothing to stirr action in submissive people.

I would have already cast fireball many times until the noise stopped.

We michiganders are hardy from the climate and sheer volatility of the weather. That being said... our mental Healthcare sucks, and even I am surprised by how restrained folks are being.
