I resent his promise to harass Titan because it turned France down.  If France is so hot and sexy, why resent that Titan allows others the investment opportunity.

I also resent the slur, in passing, to 800 Americans who sacrificed their lives on the beaches of North Africa to liberate France from the French.

The French government has responded to American tire chief's comments slamming the country's labor system.
In a letter to Titan CEO Maurice Taylor, Secretary for Industrial Productivity Reform Arnaud Montebourg blasts Taylor's note as  "extremist", "ignorant" and insulting.
"France is proud to welcome on its soil more than 20,000 foreign businesses representing more approximately 2 million employees," he writes.
Each year, we count more than 700 decisions by companies to create jobs and commerce in France. And this strong attractiveness is not weakening

Obama is solving that too, by whoring the government. 

In the corporatist state, mercenary corporate execs will accept lower profits -- OR EVEN LOSSES - to carry out admin directives.   They will be granted immunity from prosecution or punishment by regulators, and rewarded with greater access to the Administration -- which no amount of money can buy.

Or as Ayn Rand wrote 66 years ago:

"'We are at the dawn of the new age'  said James Taggart from above the rim of his champagne glass. 'We are breaking up the vicious tyranny of economic power.  We will set men free of the rule of the dollar.  We will release our spiritual aims from the dependence on owners of material means.  We will liberate our culture from the stranglehold of the profit-chasers. We will build a society dedicated to higher ideals, and we will replace the aristocracy of money by--'
'--the aristocracy of pull' said a voice beyond the group."

We're already seeing healthcare decline, as Democrats begin demanding nurses be allowed to see patients and write basic prescriptions.

Sure. 

If the patient knows what's wrong with them.   

But we don't.  Even DOCTORS don't guess right.  That's why everybody over the age of 9 knows what a "second opinion" means.

A group of nurses, set out there to solve the problems, will be managed so as to solve the problem.
Cost saving nurses who raises costs by referring complex cases to actual doctors, will be punished by their supervisors.

Public-Service Bureaucracies are eager to admit they made a mistake.

The tragedy is, the mistake they will admit, is lowballing how many people die unavoidably despite perfect bureaucracy,  instead of admitting the body count demonstrates: the bureaucracy is a failure that lets too many people die.

The Dutch experiment in legalised prostitution has been a disaster
107 CommentsJulie Bindel 2 February 2013

Do you remember the rather brilliant comedy sketch featuring Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse in which they played laid-back police officers in Amsterdam, bragging that they no longer have to deal with the crime of murder in the Netherlands since the Dutch legalised it? Don

""Let me also say that at Brighton Beach, Coney Island, July 2, 1880, at thirty yards, from five ground-traps, I killed 99 birds out of 100 single.
At Howell, Mich., 1880, I got 93 out of 100.
At Lincoln, Ill., I broke 300 glass balls in succession.
At Bradford, Pa., I broke 990 glass balls out of 1,000.
In New York city, loading my own gun and changing barrels every one hundred shots, I broke 1,000 glass balls in one hour, one minute, and fifty-four seconds.
In Agricultural Hall, London, using three guns, two traps, and at fifteen yards, I broke 1,000 glass balls in one hour, six minutes, and fifty-nine seconds.
In New York I accomplished the greatest feat of my life, as far as endurance, rapid shooting and accuracy were concerned, for I broke 5,500 glass balls in seven hours, nineteen minutes and two seconds out of 5,854, loading my own gun and changing barrels about every fifty shots.
After this match I was laid up for several days with a lame arm that was most painful, and aching head, and could realize fully the work I had accomplished, and which was a feat of endurance that many prominent New York physicians, who were present, asserted could not be done, as the physical and nervous system of man could not stand the strain.
But I could go on ad infinitum, taking up your valuable space with matches that I have won, and upon which I rest my claim to the name of "Champion Shot of the World."""

At my school they used to line up the whole team against the backstop, and put the peewee at the plate, so the infield and outfield moved up, and then the tall guy would actually kick the ball and score beaucoup points
