    You just make my point. Progressive policies have destroyed the French economy. Looist the real gdp growth rates in the EU. They are pathetic. Right into the Chinese 100 year plan.

    Your source says that the German people have a lower standard of living due to progressive energy policies.

    It shows that democratic socialism should never be imported to the USA.

    Burn, baby burn.

    Has nothing to do with the 1930 bucks a months they earn. Early retirement is just the death of your income. You go tell me how a guy operating a train for 25 years is able to pay THAT much taxes that it saved up enough to go retire on average for 32 years? Really really low wages, that's how.

    Come to think of it, Macron is fortunate the French stopped using the Guillotine.

    It has everything to do with that. The French economy is stagnant and employment policies restrict the ability to earn.

    What's TDS? I got what Trump is doing. He is the president and what he says and does matters.

    Yeah, and I notice how much was mentioned about Macron being out of touch with poor people and that French middle class. I also notice not much was said about Macron being even less popular than Trump.

    The fuel tax was the straw that broke the camels back and opened the flood gates. Now that waters rushing over the top of the dam it's going to be very difficult to stop.

    Presidential Palace under attack in France. Students in the streets and in jail. Macron on his way out. Merkel out. Riots spreading to Belgium and the Netherlands. Great news for people who want to be free people.

    This is what the Left wants to see in our country with Trump, instead of Macron, the target. It just goes to show how deluded the Left is concerning what everyday Americans want.

    Macron actually made it rather easy to hire and fire people.
    Subsequently companies fired 1000's of people after Macron implemented the new laws.

    Germans pay 3X the rate. They use less and have a lower standard of living because of that.

    The average American Joe has far more and much bigger electric appliances and heats a much bigger house. This is a perfect example of how charts and graphs can be useless when they cherry pick data.

    They use less, because they do not use airconditioning. I also do think they are able to build their houses much better. For what I've seen, they make them with double concrete walls, where American houses are usually made from plywood.

    I don't deny that. A bill is still a bill. Germany is a free country. They can put in an airconditioning if they felt like it. They do build them in their cars. They just don't do that in their houses, just because. And so overall, they just pay less. That was the point

    They use less because they cannot afford it.

    My dad framed houses for 50 years. They use much more than "plywood" to build houses in America. They typically have brick, over styrofoam insulation, over framing, over sheetrock. That's just the standard construction. Newer homes are going to polyurethane spray insulation to form an internal shell before sheetrocking the walls. Metal framing and metal roofs are becoming more popular. Even mobile homes are more than just plywood. Those that work hard and smart typically live in more than a doublewide, but it's a free country and you can live like you want here.
