What can ya say? Wherever you go, here or abroad, you’re honna have malcontents who are upset thst someone has more than they do. It’s natural for people to want more abd more but fate, laziness to some degree or bad decisions leaves some with little more than a bad taste in the mouth.
Many crooks try to bond with the arresting oficer by going on about how fate or circumstances, never laziness, has caused them to steal from people ‘who have o much and will bever miss it’. Food I can sort of understand but expensive cars, big flatscreen TVs and jewelry…. nope.
Once the rabble offs the rich and steals their s@@@, as George Carlin would say, who are they going to blame for their continuing economic and social malaise? As unpopular as it is to say it, a lot of the poor are poor for good reasons. Miserable decisions result most often in miserable circumstances. Let the Rabble eat the rich, as soon as they’ve digested them they’ll be hungry again.

OK. I read it. It’s crap. The author is perpetuating all the same myths regarding the “French revolution”. It wasn’t grassroots. It happened all across Europe, the UK and in America at relatively the same time period. It was just successful in France. It was tried again by new people in the 1840’s.
Putting the historical errors aside, the article is only correct from the aspect that people may revolt, just not from the causes ascribed.

Their accent appeared to be Scottish, so I approached and asked, “Hello, are you three lassies from Scotland?”

Old fashioned is right. I liked the days when each company had its own mess team and they were responsible directly to the folks they fed. My old engineer company hsd a super team. After working for 16 hours and slerping for 6 they’d fix a meal that made it all seem better.
I’d posted this before but in memorium of our old professional mess sergeant: he had a policy to have fresh coffee 24/7 when we were in the field. To keep a company (approx 125 soldiers) stocked he’d make about 20 gallons in of the huge mess pots. Before a deployment he’d go to the quartermaster and get a box of new GI wool socks, wash them out and stow them with the gear. Come coffee time he’d fill a sock with the requisite amount of coffee, toss it into the boiling pot and, viola, coffee with minimal grounds.
