Comment on What's stopping people who lash out at the world from going after corporations?

Well… It used to be called “going postal” because of the frequent mass shootings in postal offices by postal workers…
Why that changed I can’t tell you.
On a slightly funny(?) note, postal the game was created where you are in fact going postal. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_(video_game)
Apparently there is a plot line that is not about shooting postal workers, so who knows.
