Looks like the firefighters managed to contain the fire despite the lack of proper equipment to handle this situation.
Macron talked of pride in his speech but all I feel right now is shame for my country.

Saw a pretty interesting thread earlier from a veteran fire chief suggesting that there was no such thing as proper equipment for a fire like this.

It gets better:

quote:

Pinault Collection est une société par actions simplifiée à associé unique de droit français au capital de 273 millions d'euros (en 2018). Elle est dirigée par François Pinault, Président et Jean-Jacques Aillagon, Directeur général. Son actif est composé d'un total de 2800 œuvres d'art comptabilisées au bilan 2016 de la société pour un montant de 826 millions d'euros

It's the same Pinault that's offered 100 million, of course. Conflits d'intérêts ? Quels conflits d'intérêts ?

And here's some details about what Macron was (is?) going to announce yesterday:


quote:

C'est d'abord sur le plan fiscal que le chef de l'État souhaite intervenir, avec une baisse d'impôts en faveur des classes moyennes. Pour financer cet effort, Emmanuel Macron a décidé de supprimer certaines niches fiscales.

Mais surtout, le président va demander aux Français de travailler davantage, sans préciser de quelle manière. Plusieurs hypothèses sont envisageables : moins de jours fériés, revenir sur la durée de travail hebdomadaire, retarder l'âge de départ à la retraite.

Autre annonce prévue, la réindexation des retraites de moins de 2.000 euros sur l'inflation. La prime défiscalisée qu'ont pu verser à Noël les entreprises est pérennisée. En revanche, comme il l'avait laissé entendre, le chef de l'État ne reviendra pas sur la suppression de l'ISF. Enfin, en réponse à l'injustice territoriale, le président a décidé de suspendre toutes les fermetures d'écoles et d’hôpitaux jusqu'à la fin du quinquennat.

Quant au Référendum d'initiative citoyenne (RIC) réclamé par les "gilets jaunes", une instauration partielle est prévue, qui concernera uniquement les sujets locaux. En revanche, le référendum d'initiative partagé qui figure déjà dans la constitution sera facilité. Il faudra moins de 4 millions et demi de signatures comme aujourd'hui.

L'autre annonce, très symbolique, censée répondre aux critiques des "gilets jaunes" sur l'élitisme à la française : la suppression de l'ENA, l'école de la haute administration.
Ce sont les principales mesures envisagées par Emmanuel Macron, pour rebâtir selon lui, un "monde plus humain", et "préserver le modèle français", comme il devrait le dire. Reste à savoir comment et quand il les annoncera.

lol

France's Macron commits to renovating Notre-Dame within five years

quote:

PARIS, France (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday committed to rebuilding Notre-Dame cathedral within five years after a fire gutted the cathedral.

“We will rebuild Notre Dame even more beautifully and I want it to be completed in five years, we can do it,” Macron said in a television address to the nation.

“It is up to us to change this disaster into an opportunity to come together, having deeply reflected on what we have been and what we have to be and become better than we are. It is up to us to find the thread of our national project.”

Jupiter has spoken.

Macaroon's idea is that people should shut up and work "harder." Am I understanding that right because its a trump level of dumb?

It's about working "longer". We don't know what he's gonna try to gut yet. Could be holidays, retirement plans, hours worked per week, etc...

And it's completely mainstream political thought in this dumb country's establishment that everything would be sunshine and roses if we could just get these lazy-rear end Frenchs to just work more, because we're apparently a failed communist state where nobody ever works.

I mean, he's got the right idea. If he can beat the other nations to the punch, and build Notre Dame before they do he'll get +10 to happiness, which should be enough to offset the civil unrest. Might even get him some "we love the president" days being celebrated and a kick rear end addition to his palace.
