It's "rein in any unrest". I'm not pointing this out to be a grammar nazi, but because "reign in" is an interesting slip in the context of your post.

Oh, thanks; I’ll blame autocorrect and not paying enough attention

All good my friend! Was more just interesting given the context- my bets are on elites these days believing they can reign in any unrest, rather than being as interested in reining it in. Hubris and such.

Made a lot out of a very common error, just thought it was neat. :)
