    It is evident that the intensity of rage, irritation, and general unhappiness expressed by residents, prospects, and even certain staff members has reached a concerning magnitude. The presence of inflation, shortages in manpower, supply chain disruptions, and the ever-changing advice that we see in the news has caused many of us to yearn for a nostalgic longing for a past era, regardless of its specific nature. 

    Given the indefinite duration, it is advisable to acquire skills in effectively handling dissatisfied individuals while adhering to fair housing regulations. Challenging? Occasionally. Feasible? Indeed. The advice that "it's not what you say, it's how you say it" is no longer sufficient. It is now important to consider both what we say and how we say it. I invite you to join me in learning how to properly engage with nearly every furious individual you come across.
