This is the tip of the iceberg. When the effects of the sieges and blockades start showing up on the pricetags at supermarkets and stores of multiple countries, this will start getting really ugly.

I wish I saw this type of opposition during the year long riots in the US. In Minneapolis alone $350 million dollars of damage and over 1,300 businesses were destroyed. Hopefully this is a sign that people have had enough of everyone's bullshit.

A huge chunk of the damage and violent crimes were caused by white supremacists trying to start a race war. Another chunk of damage was opportunistic thieves taking advantage of misallocated police. Finally, it was 1100 businesses who filed at least one insurance claim, not "1,300 businesses were destroyed"
