And in Brussels

Sprouts of yellow vests:

The sign on the left says, "Michel Resign"; Michel is the Belgian Prime Minister
It's worth remembering -- yellow hi-vis vests are universal wear in the working class. Every time I stop for coffee in the morning on my way to work, I see people who are landscapers, or electricians, or construction workers, wearing hi-vis. It's worn so that workers who do potentially dangerous work are easily visible. It's the perfect thing for these protesters to wear, especially in Brussels, where such people are supposed to remain invisible while the EU technocrats devise ways to direct their lives. Pay attention.

In France, there must be a yellow vest present for every occupant in a car. this is the law. its supposed to be in case the car has an accident, or becomes disabled, the passengers are visable and wont get hit when the exit the vehicle. its become the symbol of the over reaching nanny state, big govt. wouldnt surprise me if CA enacted a similar law.

(btw: as a forklift driver, working around forklifts and semi trucks, i have to wear hi vis, too.)
