We've seen sociel unrest over the unraveling global economy in Sri Lanka and Peru. Now Iran....who will be next? How might this play into calls for a global programable digital currency?
"Protests and food riots have hit Iran with citizens taking to the
streets to chant “Death to
Dictator” and “Death to Raisi.” Ebrahim Raisi
is the hardline Islamist leader of Iran, and his government recently
cut back on wheat import subsidies, leading to big hikes in the prices
for staples like bread and pasta.
Iranians can be heard chanting “Akhoonds (Shi’ite clerics) must get lost.”
Tehran has already cracked down on food-related discontent in the
country’s Arab-dominated Khuzestan province in the southwest. According
to one report, witnesses in Izeh say riot police have been brought in to
quell peaceful protests.
The question is: Will Americans take to the streets shouting “Death to Biden” over their hungry infants?
In this country, there’s been a lot of talk and very little action on the country’s worsening baby formula shortage." PJM
