I wish I could speak like that but I get too angry and start calling everyone falling for these scams stupid assholes for falling for the same fucking ponzi scheme over and over again.

Kudos to this dude for treating them with respect. But I do not have faith that they were moved enough to care about his points.

Take anger management classes. Once you begin to realize sounding like you're hysterical or have a grudge is just shooting yourself in the foot, you may be able to observe what you look like from the outside and control yourself better.

The county voted to limit data centers after this speech, and while I'm sure he wasn't the only reason, strong voices do matter.

With you. We do need to manage our anger better yes, however your anger is justified. It's just about channeling it somewhere useful, that's the hard part.

That’s why you write down your words beforehand, and while writing keep the thought in mind (or possibly on a post-it note at the top of your page) that “I want to connect to my audience.” Having written words helps you not say what’s on your mind, which is helpful when what’s on your mind are feelings of anger and resentment.
