Is this even being reported in mainstream media? Will Macron wait for the whole city to be destroyed? I think even Hitler didn't allow that to happen

Shocking video and pics

Didn't Obama and liberals want America to be more like France? Wonder how they feel about that now...

At any rate, one of the reasons that people are struggling in France is because they only work 30 hours a week. Of course they are going to have difficulty affording a first world standard of living on 30 hours worth of income/output a week.

Unless all you want is a clean corporate utopia.

I’m not inciting hate. I don’t want people to riot.

But France has a reason and they wouldn’t be better off letting Macron get away with what he’s doing.

People can and do riot. Generally, it doesn't solve anything except letting people vent their frustrations. In the case of France and the yellow vests, Macron decided not to pursue additional fuel taxes. So they got something for their effort.

Generally Fox is not lumped in with MSM but they aren't giving it much coverage either.
What is happening in the world is less reported when there is the sensational and sexy local stories popping up everyday. Leftwing fanatics were sleeping comfortably in their beds until Trump was elected and pulled the covers off them. Now all their lunacy and conspiracy's are sucking up all the oxygen as each new lunatic gains public exposure.
Many of the leftwing lunatic ideas come from Europe with the Soros brand on them. The unelected bureaucrats enrich themselves and run Europe with a system little different than communist China.
Brexit gets the most coverage but it would require some actually journalism to cover what is happening in world news and no American media is interested in doing that kind of journalism anymore.
Fox Nation is ideally suited to take on that kind of reporting but so far have ignored it also. They're the new kid on the block but might wake up in time and realize the importance of world news as part of their programing. ( BTW, I'm not a member of Fox Nation )
