I’m envious of the way the French protest their government. They’re literally setting things on fire because their schools aren’t adequate. Because the government tried to raise the retirement age. Because their politicians are shitbags.

I think the biggest obstacle to organizing in the US is the sheer distance. It takes 40 solid hours of driving to get from one side to the other. That’s not counting any breaks. France takes about 14 hours. Doable in a day or so if you push it.

Anyway, I’d sign up for a Revolution if there was a serious contender.

The average employee is less and less compensated for the ever increasing productivity of his work. Fix that and we can see and discuss if a pay-as-you-go system really doesn't work amymore.

For the moment the rich hoard more and more while claiming the productivity isn't increasing and we have to cut back everything that benefits the majortiy for the sake of even higher profits.
