Thanks Trump, taking a bullet for the team. Now go away please.
Anyways, here in France politics have delved into a bit of chaos. Nobody has won the election, and our current (1958 vintage) constitution wasn't ready for that, so now we don't know what happens. For a few days it seemed that the lunatic far left was going to get into government. And when I say far left, I'm not talking about Bernie Sanders. France is already like Bernie Sanders' dream. No, I'm talking 90 or even 110% tax rates, including on capital gains, a limit on successions of 12 millions euros, over that the state takes everything (including a billion dollar company), disarming the police, letting all immigrants in and providing them with housing, food, healthcare etc., really crazy people.
Now that perspective has faded away a bit, it seems we'll keep the previous government for a while, which is a bit strange since it lost the election.
