Well, Macron blinked.
He delayed the fuel tax. Since this is only about the fuel tax, I guess everyone will go home now. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-f...-idUSKBN1O30MX Quote:

Looks like they have their own tea party movement afoot.
Does anyone know if their media is a voluntary in-the-tank-for-the-progressives group like we have here in the US? If so, they will kill the image of the movement just like they did here. |

Macron said yesterday he was delaying the gas tax hike for six months. Now he's saying a year.

The real test here is Dec. 10, when Macron is supposed to sign the UN pact on global migration, AKA the 'Hell yeah, y'all come on in and **** up our country, and we will pay you to do it' pact.
These people are protesting confiscatory taxes, and Macron is about to sign a pact that will bring in even more useless eaters, which will require even higher taxes to support them. They are all scared of being called racists, Islamophobes, etc., but they can all see what is going on. There is supposedly something like "storm the Bastille" type protests being planned. We will see. |

I f'n hope so.
Never thought that modern day French folks would do anything but watch their country get taken while doing nothing. |

Funny that the major news outlets here don't say a whole lot about this.

Call me a skeptic, but I'd be really surprised if anything meaningful develops out of this.
The powers that be in the EU simply won't give up their power and their vision of globalism. They just won't. |

The yellow vests are for use when the occupants are out of their car, like when the vehicle is disabled. Helps cut down on insurance payouts due to vehicle / pedestrian collisions. It's the law over there for each car to have two.

It's just one more thing to ding people for. The prevalence of speed cameras over there is also nuts. We had our foray here into the red light camera menace, and virtually all of our area finally voted them out. We were able to vote out that little bit of tyranny. Looks like the French are taking a different route. |

LOL over at reddit they are saying it's the Russians that are fomenting the unrest by starting a Facebook campaign targeted at poor and middle class racists. I'm serious.
