The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

So France rations education by wealth? The rich get plenty, the Proles get little?

Amanpour ran a piece on Frech schools last night. Some are infested with roaches, no heat, toilets don't work, or, if they do work, there is no toilet paper. Sounds much like Detroit Public, when in the hands of a Lansing appointed "Emergency Manager", whose only remit was to cut spending, so the money interests were paid. Education was not a priority.

If the GOP had free rein in Michigan, they would introduce a voucher system, to take money away from the public schools, and subsidize higher income people, who send their spawn to private schools.

Macrons is an honorary USian. The first wave of protests were when he took a couple years of retirement away from the Proles, while cutting taxes for the "JCs". Now, he is letting Prole education slide, while a "targeted" tax increase on higher income people is not "burdening" them as much as Macron claimed it would.
