France: a state that pollutes, blocks and sleeps on its gold

A record pollution to the state factory, a minimum wage disconnected from its own statistics, laws passed by a handful of elected officials, unused treasure: the national archives tell the story of a government that is overwhelmed by the economy that it is supposed to lead.

PARIS — Day 741

It is enough to open the national archives to understand. It's all about regions, laws, votes, cash. There is no need for anonymous sources or rumours: the figures published by the State itself are sufficient to establish the observation of a management which oscillates between inaction and absurdity.

Nantes: State pollutes its own window

Nantes must have been the country's industrial pride. Bonus +30 % on the production of food, hospital, military base, production fields and industrial zone maximum level The region has everything.

But she shows 51.68 % pollution, the worst rate in France, rising by more than 3 points in a week. At this level, a Nantes company maintains about 63 % production despite its bonus, against more than 76 % Ajaccio, which has none.

The most overwhelming thing is that the state itself is involved in the problem. Its national food factory, French Farm, a 5-star facility, is located precisely in Nantes. Instead of setting an example, the government adds its own production to the country's most saturated region.

A two-speed card

France has its own regions, especially in Colombia, where Cali descends under the 10 %. But there is no policy to direct companies to these territories. As a result, production is concentrated where it is least efficient.

A minimum wage that the State cannot justify

On 2 October, Congress set the minimum wage at FRF 15. However, according to official figures published by the State itself, the country's average wage is FRF 3.40.

The minimum wage would therefore be more than four times above average wage. Either the government has set a floor completely disconnected from reality, or it publishes statistics that it pays no attention to. In both cases, this is evidence of a blind wage policy.

On the ground, the consequence is immediate. A Q1 food unit is sold around FRF 0.167 : an employee must therefore produce approximately 90 units per day Just to cover his salary. The work of a manager in a food factory produced 53.

Workers are not protected by setting a wage that no one can pay. They are simply prevented from being hired.

Laws decided by a handful

France counts 1,144 inhabitants, but only 85 assetsor barely 7 % population.

In Congress, the observation is the same. The Assembly counts 26 seatsbut the minimum wage was adopted with 4 votes in favour and 1 against. VAT, labour tax and import tax were all voted with 4 votes.

On 7 October, a proposal to double VAT and labour tax5 to 10 per cent was submitted to Congress. It was rejected only in Equality, 3 votes to 3. It took a single vote for the taxation of French companies to double overnight.

A sleeping treasure

While companies suffocate, the state safes remain full: 887 gold and more FRF 2 200 sleep in the national treasury. In the current period of around 10 000 FRF FRF 9 million.

A company of maximum level costs 370 gold: the state could finance more than two. He doesn't do anything.

Borders that close

On 27 September, the Congress voted a Trade embargo against the United States. On October 3, 5 % import tax was adopted.

Fewer partners, fewer customers, more barriers: when the French economy needs to open its markets, the government chooses to close them.

An outdated government

It is no longer a question of malice, but of incompetence. The government has all the tools to act: pollution maps, market figures, cash flow data. It's all in front of her. Yet the state is setting up its own factory in the most polluted region, setting a minimum wage in contradiction with its own statistics, letting nearly 900 gold sleep and closing its commercial borders.

The concentration of power does nothing. Only one minister, Ephy, cumulatedEconomy, Work and Public relations. The Vice-President Tikazz The Defence. The government is based on a handful of people who share most of the levers, without any consistent policy emerging.

To rule is to anticipate. This government, on the other hand, is content to see, when it only bothers to look. With inaction and contradictory decisions, he no longer merely allowed the French economy to decline: he became the first responsible.

Numbers

How long?

France does not lack own regions, entrepreneurs or resources. It has gold in its trunks, territories with less than 10% pollution and players ready to invest.

What he misses is a government capable of looking at the numbers.

How many more companies will have to leave the country before he decides to act?
