I agree with you.

He seems so full of hate and preconceptions that it almost sounds like a troll.

Also who calls himself a monk and spends time on social media? Not that it’s supposed to be forbidden but social media is basically the death of attention…

A healthy man wants many things. A sick man only wants one thing.

Take care of your health!

FWIW I once got super high from a bottler. So high that I suspected it was either over dosed or even not LSD. I sent a similar one for analysis. Turned out it was pure LSD and about 125mg as advertised.

I disagree about 75 being a fairly mild dose. For a 200lbs male maybe. For a 100lbs female definitely not.

I agree as a spectator that draws are boring. However strategically it probably makes sense to draw ambiguous games and only push for a win when you have a certain advantage.

I was such an exciting match. It was hard seing Nepo blitz so many bad moves when he often had a comfortable time advantage.

Edit: context

I also use Kagi and I can confirm that it’s great. I am using Google now maybe still several times a week and most of the time the results are not even better.

I still think it’s too expensive though and I wish prices would come down.

Username checks out I guess

If the « don’t tread on me » sticker was a HN comment

Exactly. When did we decide to distrust politicians when they are destroying their own popularity in order to reform the country ?

The net worth of every politician is public. Jean-Luc Mélenchon the leader of the left is an actual millionnaire. He always has been a professional politician.

This guy wants to run a country and make it prosper…

Yes. It further solidifies my point that we should not take more money from the people.

Exactly. As individual we are protecting our individual interests even if detrimental to our countries.

The executive order (49.3) is constitutionally legal. The country needs reforms. If you don’t agree vote accordingly at the next elections.

Whereas the USA can print their own money. Also France is the most taxed country in OCDE (French Wikipedia link sorry: https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prélèvements_obligatoires)

Enough said no?

Yeah I am surprised to be downvoted…

I am not a Swiss but your comment sounds pretty insulting for them

> very unpopular globalist selling out the French people

Yes he was a banker before running for office. The left is pushing this narrative a lot. Forgetting that their leader is a millionaire who never worked in the private sector…

A social model has a cost. The choice is not between work longer or not. It’s between work longer or pay more. Macron choses the former. You may disagree but as the 5th republic allows him, he governs and he choses.

Also, government is not a popularity contest. In fact, maybe we should trust the politicians especially when they are pushing unpopular reforms.

Edit: words and clarity

The representative democracy means that there’s no need for popular mandate because the people elected representative.

Next election, they’ll chose differently if they want.

It’s normal that a lot of people are against pushing the retirement age back as everyone, individually, wishes to retire younger.

As a country though, difficult decisions must be made since life expectancy is increasing and a lot of baby boomers are retiring.

The left knows this but use the situation to get at Macron and amass political capital for the next elections.

All of this while the country is virtually bankrupt.

Edit: syntax

France is such a shit show right now (source: I am French). The president is weak because of his poor result at last election and the the left is using this to create a crisis in the country. It doesn’t matter that the gouvernement is basically bankrupted and that the boomers will need to be fed, housed, payed and healed all the way until they die.

For a 70 millions people country, only 30 millions are considered active and soon we will have 20 millions retirees.

And knowing exactly this, the left is blocking the country, attacking to police and burning dumpsters.

In Switzerland, retirement is at 65 since a while ago and the retirement is financed through capitalization whereas in France, active people pay for retirees.

I let you guess which system proves to be the best for working people and retirees alike…

It’s not useless because we are comparing countries. By breaking up a country you are basically changing the question to get a more favorable answer.

Everybody gets that richer states get better LE.

I see why it’s more confortable to see it your way. But somehow it seems to prove the point of the OP: individualism. Even if one sees the US as two different countries cohabitating, this data forces to consider the US as a whole, and maybe it’s healthy as a country.

I took chess from my father and passed it to my son…

Thanks. Apparently the account is the subject of the article but let’s not include it!

Indeed lol

Air trafic controller strikes have plagued our country (France) for many years and I see no indication that it makes our flight safety better
