I don't understand, the fascists and communists in Europe and the US have been screaming about global warming for years demanding we do something (raise taxes).
Then when France raises taxes to help fight global warming they riot? They have been demanding it.
Enlighten me. What gives?

- the fuel tax raises hit mid-low income earners and offset tax cuts for the wealthy. I think they've been angry about the tax system for yearsFax_Benson

Some amazing photos being shared.
The internals of the spire really are medieval. Not sure why but when I think of these structures, I think strong sturdy materials. But 800+ years ago, it was wood and not much else when you build a spire.
At least it looks like the main structure inside looks relatively intact. Hopefully it can be restored.

as shitty as this is, I hope they don't rebuild it. 6m just for renos never mind what it would cost to rebuild from scratch.
Leave it as a legacy of France's past and build something progressive and helpful for the future.

- Progressive...OBBTKN
- honestly, leave it a s a relic of the past. they shouldn't rebuild this any more than Rome should rebuild the colosseum or Athens the Parthenon._niko
- Whaou _niko. Are u for real ?
Highest level of stupidity I've seen since the beginning of the year. I know what I'm talking about, I read the internet daily.gonzalle - really? is the notre dame cathedral more historically significant than the colosseum or the parthenon? would you spend $1bn to restore it? could that money be_niko
- ...used for something better? explain yourself otherwise you're the one that sounds like an idiot._niko
- and if you bring religion into this, i've got nothing more to say to you._niko
- You must be very high.gonzalle
- not high enough :)_niko
- they build progressive stuff all time in paris:) they will rebuild, it's classified a world monument so diff. world monument preservation fonds will pay for it.uan
- world monument preservation funds?monospaced
- I'd rather the money went to schools, technology, science, medicine, the arts etc than an ancient relic but that's just me :)_niko
- turns out they exist!monospaced
- lol, thought he was making that up too!_niko
- with that logic let's stop all the excavations, stop maintenance on everything that's older than 100 y.o including eiffel, parthenon and pyramidsBeeswax
- preservations are one thing, returning them to their former glory is another. like i said if they can salvage some or most of it fine, leave it as it is_niko
- and it says a lot about the state of the world in 2019 when this is getting more press coverage and is more significan than the first image of a black hole lol._niko
