What started as student protests in France over the cost of living and pensions has grown into something much bigger.
Dozens of outside political and activist groups have reportedly moved into the demonstrations as the country struggles with mounting debt and pressure to cut public spending.
And that is the part Americans should be watching.
France’s debt problem is squeezing everything from pensions to everyday living costs. The U.S. carries many of the same pressures, with one major advantage for now: the dollar is still the world’s reserve currency.
What is happening in France may be a warning about what happens when the numbers finally stop working.

In England, vaccine uptake landed around 70 percent, meaning 30 percent never took a single dose. Denmark came in the same. So did Finland. Africa was even lower. America lands in that same range, roughly 30 percent who never vaccinated.
That number is worth sitting with. Under the largest coordinated propaganda campaign I’ve ever seen, every government on earth, the WHO, the WEF, the UN, all working in lockstep with a twenty four hour news cycle, 30 percent of humanity still said no. Different countries, different media systems, and the number held steady everywhere.
We didn’t even know there were this many of us. People were too afraid to talk about it at work. When employers mandated vaccination to return, I told people to start talking to their coworkers. If the numbers held true in their own workplace, 30 percent of the room could have walked out together.
Thirty percent changes governments. This is an international movement, and we have to keep speaking up loudly, or we lose both free speech and the most powerful chance for change we’ve had in a generation.

Christina Applegate became one of the most recognizable public faces of multiple sclerosis after her 2021 diagnosis.
Now she says a doctor has told her she may not have MS after all.
Her story lands alongside new Cambridge research finding that women are more likely to have autoimmune symptoms dismissed as psychological, misdiagnosed as psychosomatic, or delayed before getting the right diagnosis.
President Trump has now created a new NIH task force focused on women’s health, with an emphasis on moving research toward actual clinical outcomes and care.
For women who have spent years being dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told it was “all in their head,” that shift is long overdue.
