When the French Revolution began in 1789, France faced financial, social, and political upheaval. The country had amassed significant debt due to its involvement in the Seven Years’ War and the American Revolution, the high expenses of maintaining a large military and extensive navy, and extravagant spending by the French monarchy. Before the French Revolution, the French Franc was the global reserve currency. However, due to fiscal mismanagement, the nation experienced hyperinflation, food shortages, civil insurrection, and the loss of its reserve currency status.
During the French Revolution, different political groups, called clubs, vied for control to establish a new republic and abolish the monarchy. The Jacobins, a radical ultra-left-wing organization led by charismatic Maximilien Robespierre, became the most dominant and powerful faction. The Jacobins abolished traditions, customs, and religion to achieve equality and created new cultural norms. Jacobins used re-education and progressive reasoning to achieve egalitarianism—a false religion of virtue. When that failed, they resorted to violence. The Jacobin movement is the precursor of Marxism. — Resurrection Of The Radical Jacobins by Bob Bishop @ Sonar 21
Do we have a historical rhyme?
There was heavy cloud cover this morning and we had a few sprinkles when we started our walk. I decided not to chance getting wet and we did a potty walk. Maybe get in a mid day walk and maybe not.
I was late getting the posting up for yesterday. Got involved in the dual boot project again and forgot about doing anything else. I now have what I think to be a good bootable thumb drive with Android operating system on it. When I try to boot that it fails and continues to boot up the default operating system.
I have asked System 76 for help and think that my problem is this.
“Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday for August 2024 includes a fix for a security vulnerability in the Grub2 boot loader, which is used by many Linux operating systems.Boot problems have been reported on both dual-boot systems and on Windows devices running Linux from an ISO image, USB drive, or optical media.”
I haven’t read this any place on the web so I guess I’m alone thinking that Tim Walz looks a lot like Don Rickles. Sort of acts the same way as well.
Tim Walz and Kamala Harris both seem to be trying to act like some comedians,I watched a video with them seemingly discussing serious topics and they both laughed a lot- I think to cover their being nervous because they have no solutions to offer for problems.
