    Remind me please, the cake at Bill’s face, did it change anything? How about “the cake” from Luigi Mangione, did this one change anything?

      Talk to a doctor or nurse - the ease with which insurance requests went through for at least a month afterward was comical.

      I’m not sure about how things are now though, maybe more pie is needed

      Despite it mostly functioning as a self serving tax write off, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation did some good stuff before the pie to the face wore off. I’m sure that’s Some with an asterisk. It felt like they threw money at everything for a couple years in the 90s.

      It started conversations, but then they all stopped when arrests were made. Now if more people threw pies all the time, and did so anonymously, and at more targets, we might have a chance to change things. We can’t just let one person take a stand and then take the fall while asking if it meant anything. It means something when the example is followed.
