Why Aren't We Like France ???

Here is a description of the French popular uprising:

The current ongoing social unrest in France appears to pit a majority of working people against President Emmanuel Macron. But since Macron is merely a technocratic tool of global financial governance, the conflict is essentially an uprising against policies that put the avaricious demands of financial markets ahead of the needs of the people. This basic conflict is at the root of the weekly demonstrations of Yellow Vest protesters who have been demonstrating every Saturday for well over a year, despite brutal police repression. Now trade unionists, public sector workers and Yellow Vests demonstrate together, as partial work stoppages continue to perturb public transportation.

We in the US are being crushed by the same "policies that put the avaricious demands of financial markets ahead of the needs of the people".

So where is OUR uprising? It's truly amazing things are so peaceful here, considering that we're accused of having too many weapons for our own good. I think this proves one of the things Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence:

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."

But what happens when they become insufferable? Sadly, I think the monsters of Davos intend to teach us a lesson so we'll think that even then we have no recourse except to obey their ever-increasing commands.
