Hogging seats on a crowded train, not saying excuse me, watching videos on your phone with no headphones in. Sometimes it feels like we don't know how to act anymore. What we have been seeing, increasingly, is people breaking rules. Why should I play by the rules if nobody else is going to do that for me? This week on Explain It to Me, how to mind your manners.

New episodes Sundays wherever you get your podcasts. Hi everyone, this is Pivot from New York Magazine and the Vox Media Podcast Network. I'm Kara Swisher. And I'm Scott Galloway. Uh, this is an emergency pod.

We do these from time to time with news, especially if it's breaking, and obviously what's happened over the weekend in Minnesota has been heinous in many ways, in all ways actually. So we had to jump on here to talk about the situation. Tensions are exploding in reaction to federal agents shooting and killing 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Predi in Minneapolis on Saturday. This is the second fatal shooting by federal agents this month with Governor Tim Walls calling for Trump to halt ICE operations in the state.
