Amen brother!
On CNNs New Day they were talking down the economy and praying for a recession.
They want to sock it to Trumps voters to get rid of him. Yes, fake news is THAT evil.
Get a load of Macron’s response to the yellow vests...
There is aspect which hasn’t been explained in full details. The French have about seventy-percent of their personal vehicles which operate on diesel. Oddly, there are two taxes here. The cheaper gas tax upgrade...came out to 12-US cents more per gallon (roughly). So you’d be talking about another $8.5 a month that you need to come up with.
But on the diesel side? That tax is moving up another 24 US cents per gallon. And it’s not just private owners affected....go add in delivery vans and freight trucks (all diesel), and your average cost of living situation will escalate another 3-percent over the next year as they have to cover the taxation increase as well. All of this meant more money coming out of your pocket.
A fair number of French think this was a gimmick to get more people to buy electric vehicles. You can’t say it’s true or not.
The French are Revolting.
Madame Guillotine !!!
Hard to feel sorry for the French. They LAUGHED at Trump when he predicted just what was going to happen if this Global Warming crap started to be implemented. No different in California, where gas is closing in on $4.00.
The people in both places were IDIOTS to think that they could somehow phase out the use of gasoline without affecting its price or availability...was NEVER going to happen, and cannot happen.
Hope they enjoy paying taxes rather than drinking fine wines.
Case in point:
Cuz we didn't want to scr** our people out of money to play.
Of course, IIRC, Obama gave their little kitty a HUGE $$$$$ down payment.
So when do the riots in Kalifornia start after Moonbeam installs a carbon tax?
The French masses need to pull out the guillotines.
