Ursula going beyond her mandate again?

Maybe she should start being held accountable, she’s done enough damage.

Unions at least know good lawyers but it wasn’t necessary at all, the first denial was just to waste my time. Sadly union membership in France is becoming insignificant so they’re not as good as they once were.

And I was saying France is “communist” in jest.

The regulation is all right in France but insurance definitely has some very favourable laws (many delays for notifying them are quite short to the point where with shortages of GPs you have to waste everyone’s time at the ER if you really need to be off work).

Every workplace accident I’ve had has been denied at first due to technicalities. In France, touted as the great communist system where you pay nothing (which is of course wrong).

Google has every incentive to break reCAPTCHA competitors and/or use botnets to spam anything not protected by reCAPTCHA.

But don’t worry social credit systems where you’re barred from public transport is so dystopian only the Chinese do it.

You only need 2 to 5% the number of train drivers to haul the same amount of cargo.

French people are in denial about the dangers of the State going rogue. The laws are already there, there are almost no limits to police powers. The executive branch has unlimited power in practice because of the Constitution being written by a bunch of old men afraid they may some day be deposed.

The justice system is officially bankrupt as well: minor crimes like scamming grannies or stealing bikes aren’t even prosecuted (complaints are dismissed before any investigation).

Rec stands for Reconquête. Don’t be fooled, they’re way worse than RN.

Dati is corrupt but lucky for her the trial for when she got caught is after the election: https://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2025/09/29/le-proces-de-rachida-dati-pour-corruption-et-trafic-d-influence-prevu-du-16-au-28-septembre-2026-apres-les-elections-municipales_6643459_3224.html

Eurovision did the same.
