Yes, that image of bovine contentedness is quickly losing
its credibility. Today there were big riots in the Netherlands,
including water cannons and attack dogs and a Covid
testing center burnt to the ground. A mob also burned
an effigy of the Danish PM in Copenhagen. In the UK,
they keep arresting mass numbers for having big parties
and the parties and such just keep getting bigger.

Pandemic aftershocks overwhelm global supply lines
One year after the coronavirus pandemic first disrupted global
supply chains by closing Chinese factories, fresh shipping headaches
are delaying U.S. farm exports, crimping domestic manufacturing and >threatening higher prices for American consumers.

percent since early November. (Nathan Laine/Bloomberg News)
The cost of shipping a container of goods has risen by 80 percent
since early November and has nearly tripled over the past year,
according to the Freightos Baltic Index. The increase reflects
dramatic shifts in consumption during the pandemic, as consumers
redirect money they once spent at restaurants or movie theaters to the >purchase of record amounts of imported clothing, computers, furniture
and other goods.
That abrupt and unprecedented spending shift has upended
long-standing trade patterns, causing bottlenecks from the gates of
Chinese factories to the doorsteps of U.S. homes.
The commercial disorder is just the latest blow to
globalization's finely tuned engine, capping more than a decade of
financial crisis, trade wars, contagion and recession. Each shock has >triggered swings in the flow of cash and goods through the $91
trillion global economy. But reverberations from the pandemic are
exposing vulnerabilities in the physical plumbing of cross-border
commerce

It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future,
-- Yogi Berra
These are the sorts of widespread upheavals and ideological
fanaticism that were the prelude to WW-1.
Destabilization makes governments very nervous, desperate
even. They get the impression that Their Time is NOW - or
never. Little shit becomes bigger shit.
A few years back we had the "Arab Spring". All the nutters
on every side came out of the cracks. Result, the rise of
ISIS, renewed military rule in Egypt, Iran cooking vast
quantities of fissile material (BET they have The Bomb,
that's ancient tech at this point, and they are good friends
with Kim Jong Un too), and other arab governments
suddenly went all fascist.
