electrocuted while/cause hiding from pursuing police,
two (semi-)immigrants have triggered a civil suburbian war in France

Tim Iacono souther Californian critiques easy money;
this item shows rows and rows and acres of unsold hummers with lots of comments
found at that wonderful site by The Bitch http://blog.culturelab.org/;
it offers a perfect antidote to that entirely other obsessing about
cars on the other side of one of the real mothers amongst fences
across the free world.
hyperstition.abstractdynamics.org/archives/006774 a
number of links to items concerning the Jihadi flavours of social
unrest in French 'breedboxburbs' (fokhokken would be a dutch
translation which brings out the connotational odds ((of
misfortune, exposure, towerdives and truth)) stacked against those
vain enough to believe they can distract from or weaken the impact
of the 3Ks in that word best).
On my dutch blog (intellectjuweel) I suggested an emergency rule
that would save any more cars from going up in flames. Make the
inhabitants they share burbresidence with, no longer feel locked
out of them. Revive the totally lefty/green solution to transport
congestion and low efficiency: hitch hiking. If only manners were
that pliable and conversion prone; if only respect and dignity were
a little car-ride away.
Much better but not very instant as solutions come and go either is
to grant 'ban-lieu sufferers' (spoiled as they are compared to
immigrants of last century) a small garden as a birthright and
within view. In mine that would be the least a 'fokhok' inhabitant
needs, merits, and must have to keep himself sound and sane if not
proud.
You can of course in the interest of keeping wages low have a
minority of labour armies in reserve, that is to say mobilized
(deprived of the autonomics that would lower their interest in
wages in the first place), which keeps their frustrations
simmering, in order to lower the wages the rest is able to
negotiate. Unionizing workers and 'chomeurs' and other across the
board rules likes flat tax are gaining ground once again but I
expect it won't be enough before a lot of devastation sets us back
(down closer to ground zero altogether) a few notches.
