    In France, you also have to search to understand what’s going on ;)

    I would say the show in the US was happening right in front of everyone’s eyes, Trump is a buffoon and he couldn’t hide it.

    But what’s happening in France right now is quite the same, but Macron doesn’t look like a buffoon. Him and his government are lying openly on television. We have a media problem, and cops assaulting protesters since Yellow Jackets, everyday looks more and more like an authoritarian regime…

    And Macron wasn’t the right president to manage the ecological transition.

        That’s the spirit ;)

        Hopefully it will happen before it’s too late, with climate looming in a not-so-far future.

            I’m not that familiar with US history, but isn’t the New Deal about the 90% tax on the rich?

            And about China, it seemed to be a devastated country at the time, which took the wrong turn. WTF Social Credit, HK, etc…

                When the queen died and Charles took the throne and visited the common wealth countries, that’s what’s left from the empire. The US took one step further, but i’m not sure it would have stayed that powerful.

                And with the decline of the US we are seeing, it’s like another empire ending.

                Empires rise and die.
