    France isn’t perfect or without its own problems (or fucking right-wingers), but damn overall they’re really crushing it lately.

    (I wonder how hard it is to emigrate to France…)

      That’s happening in Paris. Some other cities are moving in right direction too, some installing new trams from zero etc. Most bigger cities have subways. But you should try visiting rural France without a car… Not a butcher or a bakery left for many kilometers/villages around, only big roadside Malls with an enormous supermarket and some fake little “shops” at the entrance. Many rural villages are dead and without a car you’re screwed big time. This is where the Gilet Jaunes came from.

      Our president just said democracy? Never heard of her and named prime minister a member of the party with the least elected parliementaries but OK.
