#2 Government and rail officials insisted that the unions' privatization fears were unfounded.

No danger there, nobody in their right mind would buy that stock.

#3 Not so sure RJ, railroads are one of the things the French do pretty well.

#5 The difference is not the "Railroads" meaning the machinery, But "Railroads" meaning the people who run them.

The machinery is first class, the people who strike at the drop of a "Cliche" are the problem.

Now if they could build a French (Machinery) Railroad, and use some other nationals to run them, yes then I'd buy their stock.

#6 If you want a sterling example of why the "youts" in the suburbs are malcontents (no job and no chance of getting one) you only have to look here. The unions in France are nuts. They kill any possibility of reform. I don't discount the muzzie component of the Frenchifada, but these assholes just strangle the country.
