All's Calm

I realized I should probably give an update on the situation: All's calm.

The Prime Minister stepped down (one of the crowd's requests). The President promised to subsidize national agricultural production. Prices are still high. MINUSTAH is still here. I walk to and from work every day, just like I've always done.

It's almost as though the protests never happened, tires were never burned, peaceful demonstrators were never beaten or shot, etc.
