France experiencing worst drought on record
I live here and am very angry.<p>At the blue cloudless sky, at the once powerful river turned to a stream and consequently at many people&#x27;s life style.<p>As I write this, millions of cars are criss-crossing France to spend a few days here, a week there.<p>I live very modestly. Small studio, no car, no TV, no AC, no e-bike, computer made of 2nd-hand parts. To buy food, I grab a bag and <i>walk</i> to the store even 2km away. It&#x27;s free and good for health.<p>I would be very happy like this if all had gone reasonably.<p>But no, people made choices that fry the ALU in my brain. Built a home far from the city to be &#x27;in the country-side&#x27; ? Now you drive everywhere, like your neighbours, making the &#x27;country&#x27; a noisy racing-circuit. Oh! and you realize you lack exercise so you <i>drive</i> to the gym or such and do useless efforts.<p>So I judge people, I fucking do. The boomers in particular. &#x27;You shouldn&#x27;t generalize!&#x27;. Oh yeah? then how do you reason about classes of people ? It&#x27;s not boolean logic, but rather perceptual statistics. And I&#x27;ll tell you : the boomers are very chiefly to blame. Not the poor ones, the masses of middle+ ones. The ones I know and the ones through official data.<p>They&#x27;re massively owning second houses where they go on holiday and leave empty most of the year, turning villages into ghost towns <i>but</i> with prohibiting estate prices ! Oh, and they go driving their <i>new</i> car. The median age of new car buyer in France is.. 62 years old.<p>When I hike, I keep bumping into them on e-bikes, &#x27;enjoying nature&#x27;. 
Did you know a bus is following them from hotel to hotel, carrying their luggage ?<p>Oh and they massively vote for <i>whoever</i> guarantees their fat pensions. The average <i>income</i> (not counting possessions...!) of retired boomers in France is superior to the one of working people !<p>I feel a solid resentment for them, to say the least.
