They were pissed before because he tried to raise gas taxes to save the planet.  Now they're pissed because he's trying to reform their ridiculous pension system.

Interesting stat from a recent study - which links to the "left behind" and rust-belt - towns in France that no longer have a grocer, cafe or post office are three times as likely to have seen gilets jaunes protests.

And yeah, France always hates its President is my impression. But he's definitely got enough support to get through the first round.

Nope - of course not.

When we've had strikes affecting Tube or railways I work from home or get the bus :)

Same but only because I can't stand to deal with how jam packed everything will be. Not because I have any sympathy with the pitiful excuses for strikes that rail/tube unions give.

QuotePresident Trump on Elon Musk:

"He's also doing the rockets. He likes rockets, and he does good at rockets too, by the way."

"We have to protect our geniuses. We have to protect Thomas Edison & we have to protect all these people that came up with the light bulb and the wheel."
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Huh. Nice to see the President admit somebody else is a genius besides himself.

So many stirring quotes to choose from when it comes time to build the Trump Monument.

I bet Musk was offended to be compared to Edison instead of Tesla.

would the wheel have been invented without strong intellectual property protections? no chance.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I'm not sure it's possible to research code of laws without getting the wheel first.  :hmm:

I really think the man has deteriorated the past 4 years. I think there is a decent chance he completely malfunctions during the debates, or cancels them entirely.

It's not the same.  Elon Musk is an unstable genius.

I don't think Trump is going to any debates.

No?  Any particular reason why?  I mean, he barely stayed on topic in 2016, I figure he'll go and just totally forgo staying on topic and just ramble about whatever he wants.
