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. >
  
  Just show them the US numbers and say "see we are not doing that bad". >
  
  6.4% US vs 6.7% FR >
  
  I remember reading about protests in (I think) eastern Europe, recently, about the same thing. Turns out it's was stirred up by a lot of Russia-sympathizing folks. They were blaming the EU response to Russia invading Ukraine rather than Russia itself. 
  I wonder how much of this protesting is that same astroturfed disinformation play from the hard right. >
  
  They're protesting in France yet they have some of the lowest inflation rates in the EU, lower than the US too. 
  It's always impressive how vocal and motivated the French are. In most countries organising people and getting them to care about important issues is incredibly hard. >
  
  Show me this inflation fella, and I'll box his ears up! >
  
  why protest if you can just kill it instead? /s >
  
  I believe there is no solution to solve inflation (or the combination of what the economy is experiencing) and increase of prices, services, and goods in general. This is one of capitalisms's weakness; the government has to pivot momentarily to a different economic system. Capitalism overtime, especially after 200 years or so, capitalism is e^x , so even if they control x, it will only slow inflation down, but still go up.
  Only real solution is a grand economy reset or decoupling of assets and real redistribution of wealth, right? But instead, the government is literally just giving money to rich people and their own friends. How hard is it to take care of the best interest of your people? 
  If your government isn't working or cooperating with you, obviously they want war (class and friend war). Right? I wish I didn't have to participate in an unfair system AND punishes you to force you to participate: better off a meteor destroys Earth or the sun explodes already. -_- 2¢ kind of annoyed and disappointed. >
  
  O yeah, show inflation who is boss ! >
  
  BIT. COIN. >
  
  Take time out to protest and don’t work. Create more supply chain bottleneck which leads to higher inflation >
  
  It's getting real if the french are out protesting. Vive le revolution! >
  
  Protesting should reduce it >
  
  Can't be anymore Parisian than a protest. >
  
  We're gonna protest inflation......in Paris. try Moscow which is the route of the cause. Cockends. >
  
  That oughta fix it 👍 >
  
  That’ll show inflation who’s boss. >
  
  You can do that?! >
  
  I wouldn't be surprised if one day I read that they are protesting about a protest in France. >
  
  Inflation go home.
