But lucky for YOU, dear listener, Kevin Lieber’s got you covered with his rules for understanding it all. This episode we dive deep into one of those rules, and how a tweet about the alleged evils of the late Blockbuster Video started it all. Kevin kicks things off by talking about the futility of online rage, and how it’s often fueled by being completely wrong in the first place. Why do people get so mad, though? Is there even a reason to begin with? Is twitter the true culprit here? Matt gives us his hottest, spiciest, most cancellable take yet. He’s got some opinions on small business, and he’s tired of playing the world’s worst game of fiscal charades. He also clues us into the economic appendage that small businesses ACTUALLY represent. In his worldly wisdom, Kevin has some real solutions for the “twitter rage conundrum.” We talk about the nuance that most issues have, and how assuming you understand their complexities is a big mistake. You know what they say about assuming – don’t. We also take some wisdom from the philanthropy of U2’s Bono, and how he came to a similar realization. To round things out, we boil it all down to one simple rule: if someone is angry over something, that doesn’t always mean they know what they’re talking about. Thanks to everybody who listened in live this week, and a big thanks to all our Patrons who make this show happen. We couldn’t do it without you.
