I feel very bad for all the shops that must close around Christmas and see their revenue crushed because of it. This is the second year in a row, and many shops have closed or hardly survive. Christmas is usually a strong period for them, but now they are struggling because people don't go into city centres anymore.
All profit goes to Amazon obviously, since people can't go do their Christmas shopping in shops. And ironically enough, the yellow vests and rioters want to evict Amazon so local shops can generate more jobs. I can't.

The people striking are professionals and unions, so hardly bums... I of course understand that it is inconvenient and damaging however to me there is something passionate and honourable about fighting for your rights. That's what I find admirable.
We hear tales of great valour and spirit ' Dunkirk spirit' ...That is how I see this, a fight against those who would disempower the citizen.
