People riot when they can't make ends meet, not when they can't install an app on their phone. Rioting is very costly.

- hilbert42 7mo agoThe rioting in Washington a while back had little to do with people not being able to make ends meet. Many civil wars (including the US Civil War) came about for other reasons.
- int_19h 7mo agoUS Civil War was a civil war in name only. For all practical purposes, it was an interstate conflict. And yes, riots can be caused by other things too - e.g. religious riots. But whatever it is, people have to care a lot about it, enough so to be willing to put their own life and limb on the line. This is not one of those cases.
