I’m reading a just published BBC story and one issue for high school students is their entitlement to go to university if they pass their end of school exams.

Macron wants to create a situation where universities get to pick and choose who they will admit.

The 2015 “Paris Climate Accord” goes up in smoke. Thank you Pres Trump for sticking a fork this marxist scheme.

Amen.

Lots of unintended consequences for Macron. The protests and dissatisfaction have spilled over to other areas beyond taxes. His political opponents are having a field day.

The tax won’t be reintroduced. They will figure out some other way to increase revenue.

Macron has found that life sucks without USA dollars to fund government stupidity based on the lie of anthropogenic climate warming global change.

Or whatever this BS is called lately.

Glad it’s available to seen/heard “as it” with no tampering by MSM.

I disagree. The Left is totally invested in the AGW lie.

The planed path to one world government strategy is dependent on the success of the premise CO2 is causing climate change.

The Left can see the light at the end of tunnel. They have tens of millions of true believers out there that have swallowed the hook. Their future as The Global Leadership depends on grabbing control of Carbon Emissions and thereby the energy economy.

The Carbon Tax is their road to the promised land and they are not going to give up on that strategy with out a knock down drag out fight.

Yes. It doesn’t appear to have been tampered with.

They won’t add it to the price of gas. The people won’t stand for such a regressive tax. France is the second most taxed country in the world after Denmark.

You could be right

A fuel tax is highly visible but I would bet that they will keep trying.

A carbon tax has been a Leftist goal for a long time and they are so close they can taste it.

They will probably try something like the Leftist in this country proposed a few years back where those below a certain income would get a tax rebate to offset the carbon tax.
