A Weekend of Demonstrations and the Path Ahead

If you go through all the German news sites this morning (Monday), there's thousands upon thousands who showed up and demonstrated against what they perceive is a national conspiracy of some type. 

The state regulations/bans are the chief target, along economic stumbling actions, and what I'd call pure bitterness at the leadership decisions made over the past month or two. 

I've noticed the term "global false alarm" being uttered by a number of people.....that so many bans occurred, with so few infections and deaths. 

The public forum crowd at work....to dispel this trend, and note these individuals as conspiracy 'nuts'. 

It's a landscape that you kinda anticipated a month ago as the shut-down and ban action continued on and nothing really said over jobs lost or wages that never came.  You can probably add up the numbers, then say around 20-percent of German society got a pretty rough stumble and haven't recovered yet. The fact that economic 'help' (in terms of cash) hasn't flowed to this group, and they noticed this lack of help.

More to come?  No doubt.
