During the heatwave a few years ago the French went off to vacation and allowed their elderly to perish by the tens of thousands so they could collect their wealth.

Now we see them tossing their youth to the wolves to help secure their own socialist life style.

Is anybody around here ever expecting anything positive from the French? Just look at how they treat their own people.

"During the heatwave a few years ago the French went off to vacation and allowed their elderly to perish by the tens of thousands so they could collect their wealth."

That is utter nonsense. It is not what happens.
French families go off on vacation in summer every year.
What was different that year was that it was the worst heatwave in France's history, hotter than ever, lasting longer than ever. France does not have summers like America, and hardly anyone has, or needs air conditioning, except that summer. People did not have the experience with weather like that. They did not simply leave their parents and grandparents to cook, so they could take their money. Nobody knew what to do. Nobody knew that the weath was going to be that bad, for that long. Nobody had any experience with it. If a blizzard hit Hawaii and a lot of people died in the hills for lack of access, lack of heat, it would not be because of the evil conniving islanders. It would be because nobody in Hawaii was prepared, physically or mentally, for a freak weather phenomenon that never happened before. You cannot rightly malign people for killing their families in freak weather they had no experience with. The suffering in France all around was very intense that summer. It was not anybody's fault.
