The French Have Had Enough Of The Oligarchy, Riots And Protests Have Been Ongoing for 4 Weeks

France has seen four weekends of violent protests against fuel tax rises, living costs and other issues.
Speaking in a televised address, Mr Macron condemned the violence but said the protesters' anger was "deep, and in many ways legitimate".
The minimum wage would increase by €100 per month from 2019, he said.
A planned tax increase for low-income pensioners would be cancelled, overtime pay would no longer be taxed, and employers would be encouraged to pay a tax-free end of year bonus to employees, he added.

My thoughts on this news

Just like most countries on this planet France is having massive problems with wealth inequality. The big difference between France and most other countries is that the people of France understand this problem and are willing to take extreme measures to do something about it. The French government has been trying to pass austerity measures and tax hikes on the poor and working class in France all while inflation is already making life difficult for the majority and making the rich richer. So the French people have decided to go to the streets and riot to make sure their government is still afraid of them. Every interview you see with a protester they are not afraid to speak out and talk about the economic problems of France and how wealth inequality is the cause of these problems. The economic problems in France are happening in every country on this planet, wealth inequality is a destroyer of economic systems.
