Always pay attention to the release valve system of power.
When people start getting angry at specific people for real issues, the play is always "let me try to give people below the bare minimum of what they want and spin it as a big deal in the hopes they shut up".

High loan interest rates, the federal government’s lack of anti-trust enforcement that’s whittled the playing field down to 2-3 major players per industry, and private equity buying up everything, isn’t great for innovation. I feel like we can go hard at the Republican Party for all of this.
