The Iranian currency has dropped in value so much that a regular person in Tehran now makes a little less than $300 probably.
Millions of families have dropped from middle class to poor.

I think they're scared of what's going to happen next.
I think this government could have stopped this many, many times during this 47 years.
They could have made change easier and smoother.
But every time they chose to oppress their own people, to kill their own people, hang their own people, torture their own people, disappear their own people.
And there was the saying after Mahsa Amini was murdered that
The rage of a grieving mother will never go quiet.
And there are thousands of grieving mothers in Iran right now.
And I don't know what they're going to do with that.
No, no, they were, yes.
I had nothing on Saturday and I meant to take a video of the bikers, but I was so scared I couldn't move.
I can tell you this, they were like freakishly terrifying.
Yes, and patrolling.
Even after Saturday night, they would patrol and scream and just make sure that their presence is known and that they are causing terror so that people won't come out anymore.
I didn't see anybody armed in the crowd and I didn't see any violence.
I'm not surprised.
It's been 47 years.
I'm not even surprised if it turns out that there are foreign agents among the crowds.
