I've noticed things have gone quiet in the past week or so. I think the money behind the protesters has figured out they were shooting themselves in the foot and has taken a step back to reassess. So... magic: it gets quiet.

It's never about the people on the streets. It's about the people funding the people on the streets.

The nights might be getting cooler so they want to stay indoors. In the west with the fires they might not want to be outside as it is hard to breath with the smoke. I remember in 2011 with Occupy Wall St I think everyone figured everyone would go home once winter arrived, when it was clear they wouldn't that is when the FBI and homeland security stepped in to take them down.
