For now... The reality is that none of the conflicts which the yellow vest movement symbolized have been resolved.

Macron still wants to stick to his abolishment of the property tax, while its reintroduction was one of the key demands of the yellow vest protesters and the participants of his "grand national dialogue".
The participants of the dialogue voiced their desire for several generous benefits and entitlements, while the main takeaway Macron got from the discussions is that "the people want lower taxes".
The conflict of interest between protecting the environment and meeting the county's CO2 reduction goals on the one hand, and keeping fuel prices low enough and mobility affordable for rural Frenchmen on the other hand, is also a very fundamental one, and no progress whatsoever was made when it comes to reconciling these conflicting goals.

So essentially, Macron is playing autistic because he wants to stick to his neoliberal agenda of lowering taxes, deregulation and cuts to entitlements, while a very significant chunk of the French population, one which extends far beyond the yellow vests, wants the exact opposite. This is a veritable policy conflict which hasnt been solved in the slightest, and which will break out again soon enough.

It's contained, definitely, destruction is like 1 or 2 burned car... Now it's just concentrated idiots like we have in any country, many of them are ignorants blindly following shit on social medias.
Like the guy i met the other day was thinking delirious things... Asshole who didn't even know the definition of "inflation" ...
All this boosted by dumbfucks with bias speech, exploiting this cancer-social-media era... Spreading - or relaying - shit.

Partially fixed since the government will not increase taxes on fuel. Deforming reality is not constructive, Black XistenZ.

The fact is: France is one of the country where middle class is suffering the less in the world, average in Europe.

I don't think Pelosi has the power to claim that for the United States. LOL

Not a porn ban, it's legislation that forces websites to ask if you're 18 when you enter a porn website. If you say yes, regardless of whether you're 18, you enter.

It's quite common already in the US.

Keeping in mind that I live across the pond. This is from the Independent...

Under the new rules, any commercial provider of online pornography will have to carry out “robust age-verification checks on users” to ensure they are adults.

Those checks could include having internet users enter personal details into a privately owned database or buying a pass from newsagents. There will be a number of different ways for people to prove their age, the government said, all of which will be “rigorous” and are not simply typing in a date of birth or ticking a box.

If pornographic websites fail to comply with the rules, they could have payment services withdrawn or be blocked for all UK users.
