  Just show them the US numbers and say "see we are not doing that bad".
context: I didn’t know we could protest against inflation. >
  
  Straight away I was thinking wtf, do we just go out and say no to inflation and off it trotts back to where it came from? 😅 >
  
  Government can introduce means and methods to help the impact of inflation. Caps, reduced fees in other places, subsidizing portions of things like electricity and food imports to maintain a stable price.
  Governments can introduce inflation just as easy as they can curb its effects. Try and force their hand sometimes instead of snarky remarks on reddit. >
  
  Sorry my friend, government can not just modify the inflation rate at will. They can increase interest rates to curb it, but that results in the entire economy slowing down as a tradeoff. Inflation is a byproduct of the relative supply of money vs. goods and services, and a price cap does not solve that problem. >
  
  Then just print more goods and services, it’s so easy. /s >
  
  Is there any real solutions for inflation? >
  
  Calling it greedflation instead so our corporate overlords can't get away with making it look like "iTs JuSt ThE eCoNoMy". >
  
  I don’t understand why people like you comment on things they clearly know nothing about. Yes, inflation is the corporate overlords calling each other up on the secret overlord phone then rubbing their hands together after each call, “yesss more moneyyyyy.” No other factors. No complexity. >
  
  sure it's more complex, but I work in manufacturing, every company in our product chain raised prices a good bit more than costs have risen.
  Costs might have gone up 8%, but everyone is trying to get away with raising prices 18%, for example. >
  
  Because cost of labor has also gone up… >
  
  That's funny, did all these people protesting get raises recently? I don't think so >
  
  When no other options… do it the French way >
  
  French doing what the French do best. >
  
  the economic phenomenon or the fetish? either way, I agree >
  
  Thousands of demonstrators held rallies Saturday in Paris to protest President Emmanuel Macron for rising prices and pension reform.
  Meanwhile, a doctors' strike recently became another issue for France as medical professionals are on a second work stoppage from Jan. 2 to 8.
  Doctors gathered Thursday in Paris to demand better working conditions. Thousands of demonstrators marched to the Health Ministry and observed a minute of silence to commemorate interns who have committed suicide.
  France has been suffering from a "triple epidemic" of the coronavirus, flu and bronchiolitis. The number of patients has increased in emergency departments, causing long waiting times. >
  
  How could Biden do this?/s >
  
  Immigration, of course. >
  
  Inflation hates protesting ! This is GENIUS >
  
  I admire the willingness of the French people to get out and protest to any variety of issues. But it makes me wonder, what is the point of regular protests if nothing ever really changes? Does its value lie in merely being able to vent? >
  
  As an American, I can point to the French having free higher education, health care free at the point of service, shorter work weeks, earlier retirement, more vacation, unlimited sick days, housing that is more affordable, better public transportation... I'm sure there is more. Yeah no where is perfect, but I would rather there be strikes and protests than rampant poverty
  Edit: also paternity and maternity leave >
  
  Don't forget mandatory maternity/paternity leave! That can optionally be extended and shares for months between the parents. >
  
  I propose next we protest against it being cold >
  
  These people also probably all want significant raises because of it… contributing to more inflation. >
  
  You can do that?? Let me gather some people... >
  
  Let them eat cake at a 10% mark up.
