    OK, lets see some consistent thinking here.

    The French lefties are protesting "rising cost of living" and "demand
    higher wages and social benefits".

    You think that maybe "higher wages and social benefits" will reinforce
    the loop of "rising cost of living" ?

    Who exactly pays for the "higher wages and social benefits" ?

    I think everyone should march in the streets to protest the economic
    failures of the current failing regime.

    Down with the aged senile dictator and his aged cronies.

    Down with the free money thinking and spending that is destroying the
    economy and causing inflation.

    Down with greedy corporations collecting RECORD profits by raising their
    prices just because they can.

    Funny how "inflation" is not hurting corporations a bit.

    Now what was that about the causing inflation?

    "Corporate profits in the United States rose 6.2 percent to a fresh
    record high of USD 2.53 trillion in the second quarter of 2022"
