#7 "....retirement age from 62 to 64, and is the flagship legislation of Macron's second term. .."

I thought the legislature had to pass legislation in order to call it legislation?? Sounds more like Rule By Law than Rule Of Law.

#8 Meanwhile back in the USSA:
from here forward there will be no consequences for banking fraud, poor decision-making, fiduciary recklessness, self-dealing, or any of the other risks attendant to the handling of other people’s money. Bailing out the Silicon Valley Bank and Barney Frank’s deluxe Signature Bank means that the government will now have to bail out every bank every time something goes wrong.
James Kunstler in today's blog entry at kunstler.com
Note there was no real "vote" on this in the USSA.
