The denizens of France (the poor bastards) have recently been hit by a major jump in motor fuel and will be hit by another one in a few weeks. French President Manny Macaroni (or whatever the fuck his name is) is doing it deliberately, despite protests by about 80% of his constituents, in order to beat back climate change.
Diesel fuel now costs the equivalent of $6.30 per gallon in France and is supposed to go up another 25 cents on January 1. (Almost nobody drivers gas vehicles in France due to taxes.) In the rioting in this last week two people have been killed and dozens injured enough to require hospital treatment.
If this tax issue keeps up the goat fuckers will not be able to afford to rent trucks to run over pedestrians.
Especially being clobbered are the poor people who live outside if Paris where public transport is poor, private vehicle ownership is more common and income is generally much less.
Must be irritating to have a President who doesn't give a rat's ass what his people want, merely what he thinks is good for them. Damn, didn't we have one of those a couple of years back?
