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"

$2 million is only $5480 a day.
 
Spend $5480 every day and pay off the balance every day.

Recoupable - stuff I can buy for that and resell for at least that.
 
But don't say event tickets, been there, done that.

One kind of protest against increased mail rates would be to prevent all the 4th class mail from being sent, including all addressed to no one in particular. Tired of removing all the flotsome from my mailbox that I don't read.
 
Invasion of privacy could apply to phone calls from "poll takers," too, as well as email trash. Seems like those selling "free" apps preventing Internet garbage are also selling our information to third party sellers.
