This is what happens when you give tax cuts to the rich while not taking care of the 90%. The protestors are mad because their PM cut taxes for the rich while raising prices for the average person. Let this be a lesson for those who think tax cuts to the wealthy are the answer.

I haven't heard or read a thing about it. Globalists' news blackout. I have spotted more people in the US wearing yellow vests and didn't think anything of it until I read that populists here are starting to wear them in solidarity. So pay attention next time you see someone. Maybe ask them.
While I support populism everywhere in the world, I won't be wearing a yellow vest. It's not a flattering color on me.
I switched back and forth between Ruptly's Paris and Brouge live streams. I found it amazing that in Brouge tear gas would be fired at protesters in relatively confined spaces.

The whole thing along with speed cameras was seen as just a money grab.

He rolled back the tax weeks ago, but the protests continue.
