The yellow vest...Very good viewpoint Dr. Newquist. The yellow vest protests in France won the day for workers by giving them a much needed increase in wages which has been a long time coming. The rural workers in particular, were put in a bad way some time ago with the financial meltdown that our banking industry in the United States, passed onto them. Austerity is a no win for everyone but the bankers.<br /><br />These protests not only got the workers their wage increase, it also manifested itself in Spain. Spain will raise its minimum wage 22% in 2019. That is huge and is the largest annual increase in 40 years. To me it is interesting the time frame of 40 years as that is the same amount of time we here in South Dakota have suffered under the thumb of anti-democracy. When will we tire of this and wear a yellow vest...<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
