The second-hand online marketplace Vinted has removed listings of looted French goods and stepped up checks on "suspicious" adverts, as the country's authorities seek to prevent goods stolen during riots from being sold online.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

The media tells us that the rioters are students upset about funding. I guess today’s students are pretty savvy when it comes to the resale market.

The media tells us that the rioters are students upset about funding.

What passes as media is just ideology-driven propaganda, but that's stating the obvious. It's actually worse than that. There's an element of nefarious subterfuge involved that is almost 'Manchurian'.

Consuming the media as actual 'news' is a grave error. Yes, there are still journalists, news people, etc. who are trustworthy, but unless they are independent (e.g. Internet based, independent publications, etc.) they're at the mercy of those who own and/or run the media.

Journos used to report on what actually happened. It has now become a combination of gotcha doom and propaganda wish casting. With all the anonymous sourcing and “coulds, mights, possibles, predictions, expert expectations”, it is completely propaganda news making instead of news telling.

That’s not all. French judges are letting the rioters go with a slap on the wrist...

I know it’s a tired cliché at this point, but the French, true to form, are surrendering.

Brick-and-mortar stores can’t compete with brick-and-window resale.

“today’s students are pretty savvy when it comes to the resale market”

It was my daughters part time job in college. She would go to 2nd hand shops and garage sales on the weekend, has a great eye for fashion, she would resale on line, made $1000-$1200 a month.
