I know, it's France, so who cares/how can you tell? But people in all sectors of their workforce are protesting current economic conditions. I expect we'll see more of this as the financial crisis deepens. Maybe not here for awhile because Obama will have a honeymoon period, but I wonder for how long? People holler the most when their incomes are affected. Today we have instant communication and everyone soon knows about government corruption and waste. I worry about our country. I worry about how much more plundering by greedy politicians and corporations it can take.

Mon Dieu, Je suis au chomage.
Moi aussi, notre ange d'épuisant! I am troubled by how many layoffs and terminations are taking place. That is all you hear when you watch the nightly news.
Things have been progressively getting worse. How is it that all of a sudden everyone is reaching a critical point? Do you think it is panic syndrome or is it just more acceptable to layoff when everyone else is doing it too?
We are in a situation that was very similarn to the Carter administration. The term "stagflation" hit the lexicon back then.
No one could borrow because the interest rates were so high, inflation was double digits, and the price of oil kept going up.
I remember travelling over the Verranzano bridge in NYC and seeing a line of oil tankers as far as the eye could see. They were waiting to see if the price went up on a daily basis. If it did, they headed for port. If it didn't, they would wait it out for a few days.
The current "stimulous" bill is worthless. They need to cut taxes on individuals and businesses to jump start the economy.
BTW, that's Ange Vengeur
Poetic license? Sorry AA, I thought punishing was closer to the nuance you were intending than vengeful or vindictive.
Are you two going to be jabbering in French at the next get together? Any Irregulars know Russian? I can also swear in Spanish.
I know enough Spanish to get my face slapped. That's about it. I can count to ten in German.
