The revolution was about missed meals and lack of food. The US isn’t there yet.

This is faaaar too low. The French Revolution was really triggered by famine and people not having enough food.

I’m not sure I would characterize it that way. It was a bourgeois revolution, lead by the bourgeoisie, who were not starving. Same with the American Revolution. These were revolutions led by & funded by people who owned the means of production.
