The road-blocking protests in France now aim at inequality and plutocracy rather than just increasing the gasoline tax.

I am happy to see this change, from a shortsighted and mistaken cause to a valid cause.

Taxing fossil fuels more is vitally necessary. We desperately need to reduce the use of them, and only taxing them can put the market to work on doing so. However, plutocracy and inequality are unjust, and not necessary for any valid reason.
