Yeah we had a ton of guns back then too but our culture today is fucked. Division and hate get clicks and our media is selling it.

Also, I vote we call falling into an inescapable pattern of producing half-assed work "going Boeing."

The symposium was sponsored by the U.S. Postal Service, which has seen so many outbursts that in some circles excessive stress is known as "going postal." Thirty-five people have been killed in 11 post office shootings since 1983.

Bit more than just the one time though.

Ok, sure, however the reference was for the origins of “going postal”, which I recall very well being associated with the Oklahoma shooting. The Wikipedia entry agrees with my memory. Not just post office workplace shootings.

Sure, I just copied it from this Wikipedia entry.
