69. I think the civil unrest only seems more widespread

than it really is because of cable news coverage. There are plenty of places throughout the nation where any modest protests that take place are pretty innocuous. I also have doubts they will last through the end of summer because Americans are so easily distracted.

When you have to fill a wheelbarrow with cash in order to buy a loaf of bread, we'll be at Weimar levels.
