France ready to erupt - average citizens have had enough

I do admit to being an ordinary average member of the public. Why do you think the average French citizen is sick and tired of the way government is running things there?

This could be the start of the same in many if not all western countries.

What percentage of the general public do you think are interested in a climate change debate? @SimplyTracie

@jackjjackson Maybe just me but I’m interested to know how much our leaders actually know what the facts are regarding Climate Change. And also it might change a few minds if they listen to other world leaders. I’m sure they respect each other’s opinions, don’t you agree?

I don’t don’t know how the average French citizen feels. Heck, I don’t even know what the average American thinks about how our government is being run.

I suppose we are and will be seeing it play out in France just like we are here in the USA. @SimplyTracie

@jackjjackson I don’t see it. Explain how it’s being played out here?

Have you heard about the riots and the yellowvests? @SimplyTracie

@jackjjackson I’ve read about the riots and the yellow vests in Paris but not here. How does it compare to what’s happening here?

The same issues exist is the US. The same thing isn’t happening ...... YET. Something pushed the average French citizen to decide enough is enough - a tipping point. I suspect that as the divisions between the elites and the public increase the tipping point will be reached. @SimplyTracie

@jackjjackson So how do we close the gap between the elitist and the average American?

Tax and censor some of the elitists lol? A few particularly obnoxious ones inhabit SW wonder what they think? Send them all to CA make them pay its massive bills and cut it adrift? @SimplyTracie
