The most amazing thing about this epidemic is that it seemingly turned Macron into a communist

Macron often says perfectly sensible things when he reads a speech he probably didn't write. That doesn't stop him from ramming through ghoulish policies aimed at making everyone poorer except the billionaires. Like that 49.3'ed pension reform.

I was trying to be sarcastic. Next you'll have Fillon announce that he is, in fact, giving the money back.

So far, it doesn't seem to have any impact. Personally, j'ai confiance en l'incompétence de mon pays - si y a moyen de faire les choses connement, on le fera !

Edouard Philippe posted:Ce que nous devons faire en ce moment, c’est tout simplement d’éviter au maximum de se rassembler, limiter les réunions amicales et familiales, n’utiliser les transports en commun que pour aller au travail et seulement si la présence physique au travail est indispensable, ne sortir de chez soi que pour faire ses courses essentielles, faire un peu d’exercice ou voter I laughed out loud when I heard him say that. Is he for loving real?

I wonder how declaring stade 3 just before the elections plays into the strategy. They expect to get reamed. Stade 3 probably means vastly lower turnout, in turn leaving some elbow room to save face arguing about how the results are unrepresentative ?

Absenteeism is going to be through the roof. If less than half the population votes how is it considered legitimate?

The worst of it is, despite the administration's arrogance, condescension, and paternalism I still come off as impressed, because my only other presidential point of comparison is loving Donald Trump and all his bullshit.

So, some Coronavirus stats from https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6quote:France, France quote:St Martin, France quote:Saint Barthelemy, France quote:Guadeloupe quote:Martinique quote:Mayotte quote:Reunion quote:New Caledonia, France quote:French Polynesia, France quote:French Guiana Wallis & Futuna and St. Pierre & Miquelon are so far not affected. But I find Guyane's case to be especially interesting, a 33% recovery rate is the highest we have.

Haha yeah I saw that this morning. Dude went all out calling for an "armée des ombres" (because "we're at war") of the unemployed to rise up and go pick up produce in the fields for the good of the country, because obviously we can't rely on North African migrant workers to do it anymore. No mention of paying anyone for it, of course. L'appel du 18 juin, version

lost in postation posted:It's a joke about Middle French, the way English-speaking people would joke about ye olde forume poste or whatever I see. It's pretty. The most middle French thing I've read, but it was more Old French I think was La Chanson de Roland and Le Roman de Renart, which I really appreciated. I thought it was cool how more Spanish sounding it looked. I obviously read the modern translation that was printed just alongside it. I don't think I've read any middle French, at least nothing that was memorable.

Also "moiffons" and "feront" is the same joke you often find in English about the old "long s" (ſ) being read as an f nowadays. It's "moissons", harvests, and "serons", will be. For more middle French I recommend Villon's ballade des pendus. It's a great text, mostly understandable directly. It's also interesting to see how some words evolved, like for example "absouldre" still had the "l" it eventually lost but which you can find in "absolve". (I first read it in CM2. The teacher started us with la complainte de Mandrin and then followed it with Villon's text as kind of a thematic sequel to Mandrin getting hanged. I'm sure nowadays these texts would be found very inappropriate and traumatizing for children, heh.) Cat Mattress fucked around with this message at 12:42 on Mar 24, 2020 |

Well, that's just greatquote:PARIS (Reuters) - The number of people in France who have died from coronavirus is much higher than the official daily government tally, which only accounts for those dying in hospitals and does not include those dying at home or in retirement homes, the head of the hospitals federation said.

lost in postation posted:It's a joke about Middle French, the way English-speaking people would joke about ye olde forume poste or whatever Yup  . Also about the au feeling spelling & grammar found in documents up to the (very late) Modern era ; and the frequent peppering of Latin/Occitan words by Middle Age clerics whenever they forgot or didn't have a "real" French word at hand.But, translated : "If the harvest isn't done, famine and price hikes are to be feared. Poor people, go out and do them, and for free if you please !" It's all the more ridiculous that a) France, like most every Western country, wastes a huge amount of its agricultural produce just because it's not prettyyyy so even if this year we miss out on 50% of the harvest we'll likely still get just as many strawberries, peaches & lettuces (just not the prettiest of the pretty ones) and b) none of that concerns actual staple crops like wheat, corn, 'taters... which are easily picked mechanically. Bottomline : contrary to what asshat implies, we won't starve. Not this year, not any year. We're not in the loving Middle Ages any more. The only (but this one very real) risk is to the bottomline of peasants who planted strawberries or lettuces this year, don't have anybody at hand to pick them , and will likely eat a stone loss. (and while the argument of "haha no more Algerians and Poles to pick them for pennies, rear end in a top hat !" is not altogether wrong, it's also true than there simply aren't enough able bodied, unemployed, non_confined young people in the French countryside to help there). It's harsh, it really is. They'll need a handout, like so many other people and corps de métier will when the crisis is over. But for some reason, those fuckmooks don't ever ask for the exceptional solidarity of billionaires and corporations nor raise solidarity taxes on large fortunes in this time of crisis... Odd, that.

It's harsh, it really is. They'll need a handout, like so many other people and corps de métier will when the crisis is over. There's also the fact that, if it costs them X€ per kg to produce $CROP, then the centrales will buy them at X-0.5€ per kg. So they're entirely reliant on subsidies to survive. The solution, of course, would be to have a state that practice price regulation, putting a floor to the price at which it's bought from the producer, and a ceiling to the price at which it's sold to the consumers. Subsidies would now longer be needed. Hiring seasonal help that works for less than minimum wage would no longer be necessary. But that just wouldn't be liberal, now, would it?

Oh so now the government is saying they'll invest massively in the hospital system. Good thing it will only have taken a few tens of thousands deaths (probably, when this is over), huh.

Naaaah, don't worry brah, Manu said "when the crisis is over, we'll discuss doing a money thing for our Heroes". Meaning, when their heroics aren't needed any more. Meaning when he can feel free to forget the promise, and send his beloved FDO to bust their teeth in should they have the subversive idea to remember it ; or the downright petty and mercenary notion that their heroics should be rewarded in cash. Right now however, the urgency is in gutting the Code du Travail. Chaque chose en son temps.
