    Real wages have been stagnant since the 1970s, while the supposedly “free market” has become increasingly sophisticated at extracting every last cent from consumers. At the same time, the state no longer represents those consumers’ interests, as political decisions tend to follow the influence of those with the deepest pockets.

    I understand the distress these people feel. They are cornered, like animals, and experience a growing sense of pressure. It is a tragedy that, in such shootings, this anger is directed at innocent people rather than being channeled toward the structures and actors they hold responsible.
