Riots in France have already cost businesses more than $1 billion | CNN Business - Lemmy.world

Just weeks after hugely disruptive protests and strikes over pension reforms in France finally died down, businesses in the country are grappling with the fallout from a week of rioting.

The only thing I reapect about fr*nce is their protest culture

Jk jk I’m sure there’s other stuff like baked goods or whatever. Great job with the riots guys.

Great job? They destroy and loot their own cities in name of “protest”. This is not a protest, this is shameless looting and destruction.

This is not a protest, this is shameless looting and destruction.

You guys have the same talking points wherever you are.

  • If you fk around trying to wind back social benefits to please like 5% of top incone receivers you FIND OUT when they break stuff.

  • the vast MAJORITY of breaking stuff has been proven in the US to be right-winger provocateurs.

  • You are aware that the shops and infrastructure they are destroying have no influence on social security nor policy, right? You are also aware that most shops are family owned businesses that already struggle to make ends meet, and face similar issues as the people rioting? There are ways to protest and revolt against a government, that don't include stealing or breaking public infrastructure. I don't get why people think stealing is warranted when you tag protest on it.

    This WHOLE ENTIRE talking point, in effect, takes away from THE POINT OF THE PROTEST.

    The points of the protest are the eroding of everyone's quality of life because of an uppermost class AND THOSE WHO SUPPORT THEM

    I thought this was about police violence? But sure. Oh and p.s, from a rational point of view, the pension age cannot stand as is, and must be increased to ensure pension for all
    Oooooooorrrrrrrrrr, we can tax the fuck out of the 1%.
