Immediate treatment
To fellow Freepers......truth please.
Your friend is a liar.
We witnessed a motorcycle (they’re EVERYWHERE) accident, in Paris. The rider literally hit the back of a stopped car (at traffic light), full speed, and flew off of his bike and hit the pavement.
It took at least 20 mins for the ambulance to get to this guy (who folks had since moved over to the sidewalk). Once the ambulance arrived they then worked on the guy, on the sidewalk....not in the ambulance....for another 20 mins. After which they FINALLY hauled the guy off (to the hospital?? Who knows :).
It was the most bizarre ‘emergency’ treatment we’d ever witnessed.
Reminded me of the Princess Diana accident where they worked on her CAR SIDE, on the ROAD, for what seemed like an hour, before declaring her dead :(
Needs repeating.
Pea Ridge, your friend is a liar.
France has the highest taxes in Europe, with a 75% top rate. Those who don’t pay income taxes still pay ‘social services fees’.
The French government spends more than 55% of GDP, compared to 20% or so the US federal government spends of GDP. US states spend another 10% or so of GDP.
France is a basket case that needs to grovel before Germany for instructions on how to survive, even without noting their defeat at the hands of Muslim invaders.
