Yes, and I think some of the media directly drove the "outrage economy" and profited from it. You get a little blip of adrenaline getting angry about something for a second and you get accustomed to it. Then you get accustomed to getting it from being angry. Maybe aggressive driving is part of that elevated adrenaline addiction: as you go about your day you need little doses from other places like the gas pedal.
