So many outrageous issues have been thrown at the American public that ,
yes, I do believe we have "outrage fatigue". The investment/bank fraud
situation isn't seen as something that impacts the "little guy", so why
bother? We're too busy trying to keep our jobs and pay the bills, and our
impotent rage will make no difference.
I have only so much care and time to expend on issues outside of my
household, so the bank fraud criminals will have to get in line behind the
animal abusers, puppy millers, unregulated gun sellers, and anti-vaccination
protesters.
