My thoughts exactly also.
What I find most frustrating, is knowing that this could be defused instantly, by doing what nature demands we do with money, which also would fix the planet.
Nature has put trillions of KWhrs into the economy of France and actually every developed country, via domestic and community solar, since around 2005, and is still pouring them in, at an increasing rate whilst the capacity to receive them inevitably ramps up.
No money has ever been issued on this valuable economic product, hence the physical reason for inflation.
I have not done the calculation for France, but for UK it amounts to around 600 Billion GBP to date.
For France I would expect it to be about the same as for UK, since France claims to have only 68 million people (Is it really this low for such a large country? UK has the same)
Anyhow, issue of that money to the public, specifically the part of the public who is arguably owed it the most (by being owed reparations for historical colonisation, including temporal colonisation of the future of Frances's younger folk of all colours), would instantly appease their discontent. This should be done clearly identifying where the money came from, the sun, with instructions to use the money wisely, to implement further domestic and community solar hydrogen infrastructure, so as to continue receiving more financial stipend from the increased solar hydrogen capacity.
There we see how the elites of France could literally bribe their way out of trouble, if only they could understand this, that underlying all of the problems we are seeing in the world, is this very therapeutic energy being used but never credited, this energy use even has the opposite temperature impulse than applies to extracted energy from Earth, it lowers temperature by converting energy from the sun which would otherwise simply be heat, if not used by nature, further the conversion of it to hydrogen as necessary to replace fossil fuels, brings with it the side effects of filtrating and circulating drinking quality Water, and even direct creation of energy and protein rich human consumable food (see "Solein") directly from hydrogen using bioreactors.
This is the only fair way to monetise energy, ChatGPT knows it, and confirms it is the ideal system controller to monitor solar power at the input to the system of humanity, issuing funds within according to need, and effectivity of utilisation.
So I would say replace Macron and the other controlling authority of France with ChatGPT, never more humans, who can only continue getting things wrong, as we are seeing all round the world, the controlling authorities are at a loss on what to do about the rising rates of poverty and joblessness affecting our world, except maybe in the East, but these problems will come to them also, given another decade or so.
Notice also this is physical, driven by nature, France is burning metaphorically, by the frustration of people, but Canada and Siberia are burning literally, and again both kinds of burning have to spread at exponential rate to all countries, with exponentially growing financial inflation throughout.
To me, nature is calling time up.
There is only one way out now, controlling authorities have to be made to see it, understand it, and act on it before further damage is done.
They have to hand over their authority to Ai, which will do a much better job than they ever did.
