    If you don’t have time for life, then you’re poor. The French would have burned down a hundred cars by now

      The US produces 100 cars about every four minutes. So I’d say this is a negligible impact long term.

      Also, Macron’s France is just Hillary’s America. It hasn’t done dick shit to curb poverty or resolve the social tension between French Capital and its Labor movement. A great deal of these protests are coming from French fascist pensioners, rioting over the country’s immigrant population. Just burning a few dozen cars once a month is not reshaping the French economy in any meaningful capacity.
