In response to violent nationwide protests, French President Emmanuel Macron promised his citizens tax relief.
Gee, and all they had to do was burn down half of France to get it. Can we get tax relief in America if we burn down the other half of France?
Wait until they give their citizens the repair bill.
So why is there a problem in France, don’t the French always proclaim their concern for “global warming” and demand an end to it?? I think the problem is the French government, and the rest of the governments of Europe, and the world for that matter, was fully expecting the USA to foot the bill for “global warming.” just like we foot the bill for the UN and for NATO. Imagine their shock when Trump pulled the USA out of the Paris accords and they found out they would have to pay for it on their own dime (or Franc in this case). Suddenly they’re much more concerned with their tax situation than they are with the temperature. No wonder the government of France has no plans to enact a French equivalent of the second amendment.
Franc? I thought they used the Euro.
What the government’s view of Global Warming Alarmism may be different from what the citizenry may believe especially on how to address the problem. It is not surprising though when people get the check for implementing their passions and it is a tad more than they were lead to believe it would be.
If you don’t understand TANSTAAFL you shouldn’t be voting in people who claim there is one.
You are correct, it is the Euro not the Franc (my mistake) but most importantly it is NOT the dollar being used to pay for this scam.
California is burning because of government trying to solve the environment, but I don’t see their taxes getting lower.
That’s because leftists have the habit of trading what works (like forest management, or capitalism) for their latest new idea
