Ofc and I left France the day I realized it was impossible. Not because of the high roller bankers but because the people literally cannot accept a balanced budget to live within our means.

Now Im in Hong Kong, where as you know the people have little say and slogans like "5 demands not one less" is not met with fear like in France, but with police aggression. But, we have a balanced budget. We had a record tax revenue this year if you can believe it. All problems are simpler when you have a surplus, even at the individual level.

So I'm happy but people here envy France where the street can clawback what's hers even at credit...
