II Quelques faits : Le temps de travail par actif des français est supérieur (1489h) à celui des allemands (1335h). Le contrat de travail français prévoit en moyenne 38,2 heures par semaine, contre 36,6 heures pour les Allemands,
III Répéter comme des perroquets « les français ne travaillent pas assez » est stupide, et relève de la Fake News la plus totale.
Mais il est vrai que le taux d’emploi est + élevé en Allemagne qu’en France autrement dit que le chômage est + important dans notre pays.
IV Si le chômage est + important en France qu’en Allemagne c’est essentiellement un problème de compétitivité. Le produit français se vend plus mal que le produit allemand. Pourquoi ? Regardons les « suspects habituels » :
V (a)Problème de prix : le FMI montre depuis des années dans les External Sector Reports que l’Euro conduit à une surévaluation de la production française de 15%. (b) Problème de qualité (vrai parfois mais pas toujours) (c) Choix du type de produit par l’entreprise
VI Le problème (a) devrait se traiter par une dévaluation, comme lors de l’arrivée du Gen. De Gaulle en 1958, ou en 1971. Le problème (b) se traite par un effort de formation de la main d’oeuvre. Le problème (c) par un bon choix de l’entreprise
VII Aucun de ces problèmes ne se traite par un accroissement du travail. Faire travailler plus quand on a du mal à vendre ses produits et que l’on a déjà 7,4% de chômeurs (au sens du BIT) est simplement stupide et va aggraver les problèmes.
VIII Par contre, aucun de nos perroquets médiatiques ne parle de la baisse relative de la productivité du travail depuis 2021. Elle est pourtant importante (décrochage de 8%) mais largement inexpliquée
IX Or, une stagnation ou une baisse de la productivité détériore encore plus notre compétitivité ET empêche un financement correct des retraites. C’est donc une question décisive pour l’économie française.
X Mais, cette question de la productivité se traite (entre autres) par un effort accru d’investissement. Le problème est que, depuis plusieurs trimestres, l’investissement des entreprises, de l’État et des ménages baisse.
XI On voit qu’augmenter le travail de ceux qui déjà ont un travail est absurde puisque l’on ne pourra vendre plus. Faire baisser le chômage ne serait possible qu’en BAISSANT le temps de travail, tant que l’on ne vendra pas plus.
XII Pour résumer : augmenter le temps de travail (individuel ou collectif) n’a pas de sens tant que nous n’aurons pas dévalué (20%-25%), tant que la formation restera défaillante, et tant que nous n’investirons pas plus et massivement plus.

So ARPANET had a famous "Flag Day" where they switched over to TCP/IP in 1983; it required a simultaneous switchover of all host machines to the new protocol. And I know that "flag day" has since referred to big changes like that in networked systems. I assumed the name referred to some bitwise flags set in packet headers. Turns out, the term comes from Multics, when similar coordination was required for an encoding change. It happened on actual US Flag Day 1966!

This ain’t your grandfather’s Judaism any longer.An argument that I have seen from time to time goes something like this:...Alan Joseph Bauer (Townhall)
Capitalism killed democracy in our lifetime. Whatever civic actions we took to peacefully resist, and violent ones too, were insufficient to stop or slow the juggernaut because we gave our enemies our money. And we still do.
Republicans are worse than Catholics who express "dissapointment" with the church. MAGAs are absolutely loyal to a fault.
Dems don't have a coherent plan to give us capitalism with a human face because elected leaders have to drink from the same trough as Reps.
If a party truly challenged the Reps there would be declared a National Emergency to prevent the elections. That's what happens when you put a felon insurrectionist in the White House, and when you illegally pack scotus.
If Trump is broken on Epstein's back that would be Shakespearean and cathartic.
Another world is possible. Tax the uber- rich, support democratic nations, sell the U.S. to the Danes for $1.

What makes a good viral post these days?
- Shock people
- Sensationalism
- Cuteness
- Laugh at misfortune
- Gossip
- Say something polarizing
- Say something that allows people to excuse themselves or blame someone/something else for problems
- Say something agreeable that people can latch on to and say "THIS!"
It's hard to truly develop ones self or find peace, when drowning in a sea of mind-pollution.
Avoid platforms that support it, use a 3rd-party client, and curate.
"What makes a good viral post these days?" - you might as well have asked the following question, which is virtually equivalent:
"What hits emotionally first, and rationally second (or scarcely at all, if it's something positive and uplifting), and will summon boosts?"
