Germany is a little pissed about all that French Nuclear waste..

Come on, you guys enjoyed years of low taxes and now when the Gov has to tighten up on spending, you can offer to pay more, or work longer. Pick one. Stop bitching.

On the other hand, the majority of the currency of the world, has congealed with the top 5 or 10 percent of rich mother fuckers.  The middle class are slipping into poverty at an alarming rate.  If there is no money pay the middle class a decent wage, the economy slows, then stops.  Not sure if you heard of the Great Depression?

French Port Blockades

Blockades are something out of WWII or the Cuban Missle crisis. Oh, Star Wars Episode 4 too.

These ports are used by fisherman and ferrys that carry folks betweek the UK and France. So A lot of people are understandably pissed that the fishermen are doing this. I guess these French fisher dudes would rather lose their jobs entirely, by over-fishing, rather than cutting back. It sounds like they have too many dudes fishing. Go drink some warm wine.

Um, France Is Closed Today

I see their point, I guess the fact that we see the US government doing something about the economy, makes the difference. Even if we don't agree with the tactics.
