All I've seen is rioting, fires, looting,destruction of private property and nearly nothing about the government's inability to cope with the issue-sorta like Brexit. What channel are you watching that blames the State for everything, because I haven't seen it?
If people with too much money and power would only pause to consider the ripple effect of their actions. Big-picture people tend to myopia when it comes to ground-level life. Don't attempt to confuse them with facts.
Every time in history the bankers have been turned loose, they have managed to screw things up. Every time they've been throttled by the imposed ethics of regulation, things have been better for everyone else. There is a money-taking currently in progress in the US and likely the world (stock market dive, tax cuts for the top echelon) and somebody has to pay for it.
Many folk in Europe and the UK aren't aware of the local nature of most US media, particularly newspapers. With relatively few exceptions, "mainstream" newspapers are actually regional. In our area we have the Seattle Times (based 75 miles away) the Everett Herald (60 miles away) and the Skagit Valley Herald (local). We have no retail "newsagents" like the UK. If we want a national newspaper, we have to become subscribers and get it every day. They aren't cheap.
We do get "national" news from TV, usually in the evenings and most people only watch their favorite channel. They are put out from the national networks through local affiliates.
Its a right old mess I say, being a Aussie I really just don't understand it all, but its all over the world news, bloody politics and politicians, but the people have spoken but at what cost.
