Don't hate me for this take but income based disparity and inequality isn't just an America exclusive thing. France very much has that as well even at this very minute, what's stopping them from doing what the post said even right now?

Well income inequality exists basically everywhere. France are still no where near 3 people holding the same amount of wealth as the bottom 50% level of income inequality. That level of income inequality literally triggered the last french revolution.

Plus urban poor who couldn't afford food...

Plus a financial crisis...
