🧵 En subventionnant les prix de l’électricité pour ses industriels, l’Allemagne viole des règles de concurrence qu’elle avait elle-même imposé au reste de l’Europe. Son objectif ? Selon 2 ex-PDG d’EDF : détruire l’avantage comparatif 🇫🇷 en matière énergétique. 👇
@ProjectConstitu According to @INTERPOL_HQ, these two Foreign Legion officers are believed to have formed the elite death squad. Specialists in infiltration and close-quarters combat, they have already been deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Cuba for similar missions.
It's funny to me that leftists internationally fantasize about China when inequality there is higher than even in the United States
In fact China's tax and transfer system has virtually no redistributive effect
I’ve been hearing France has been having major protests (nothing out of the ordinary tbh) because Macron’s government wants austerity. Their deficit is 5.8% of GDP which is almost twice as much as the EU’s 3% deficit limit. Further, their debt-to-GDP ratio is 113%
Not as bad as the U.S. (6.4% and 123% respectively) but the world’s reserve currency or something so we get to be a little more irresponsible.
Apparently credit raters have downgraded France’s credit rating again. As a result, Macron wants to cut spending, but the people are furious. Further, he does not have a very large majority, if any, and neither opposition parties - the far left socialist extremists, NFP, and the center right, NR - want to support his austerity measures because, well the Left is for taxing the rich and seizing the means of prediction, and the right know it’s unpopular and they are ascendent and don’t want to become unpopular.
France’s high interest rates mean their interest payments will be like 1/3 of the budget by 2029 and obviously unsustainable
What makes matters worse is that France already has one of the highest tax burdens in the world. A single, childless middle age worker can expect to pay 47% of their wages in taxes. Further, they already did do a wealth tax many years ago which cause tens of thousands of wealthy people to flee, taking tens of billions of euros with them.
To make matters even worse, France’s fertility rate is below replacement, meaning each year there will be more and more retirees drawing pensions and fewer workers to pay for them.
The System is at a breaking point. Democracy has failed. The ascendant radical Left promises more socialist lies, while the Ascendant nationalist right, while tackling a very real and major problem of replacement migration, I don’t believe has any plans to solve this crisis, and even if they did, it would be utterly suicidal.
The only solution I see is pushing back retirement ages and reducing pension payments while keeping taxes about the same. Basically you get a smaller pension and pay the same taxes, because we can no longer afford to borrow on credit for your retirement. Have a nice day !
Bien que le sujet ait déjà été partiellement traité par beaucoup je voulais faire un thread sur la collection d’un mec qui est l’exemple parfait du geek neo fan de montre compulsif mais en version turbo milliardaire : Mark Zuckerberg.
Ici on est pas sur le rappeur qui enchaine les 50 variations de royal oak , on est sur énorme maboule avec fric infini, so let’s get it started, shall we ?
