Around the world the last few months there has been a steady and substantial increase in general strikes/riots/mass protests.

Perhaps it started with those in Hong Kong seeking to protect its remaining democratic freedoms......

But since then protests an a large scale, some violent, have affected places as disparate as Lebanon, Honduras, Chile, Ecuador, Iraq, Ethiopia and more.

That doesn't include the climate protests across much of the world, which were frankly less disruptive [[typically a day or 2, if unusually large and somewhat adverse economically)

Here's a story asking if people are reaching a collective breaking point......

Is this real or a flash-in-the-pan?

Will it affect places closer to home [[the U.S./Canada etc)?

What outcomes may ensue positive or negative?

Will the power structure try to let some air out of the proverbial balloon in more places in order to lessen the likelihood of further disruption?
