it’s the great conundrum of the french:

they do everything wrong and it turns out right.

did you see the news story couple days ago that they are the most wealthy country now? just passed the US? here it is:

The highest level of average wealth doesn’t mean crap. In such a small country having a small number of very wealthy individuals raises the average pretty easily.

The biggest difference is the French intolerance of "diversity" which would be nothing more than the total anihilation of their western culture as it is now in the US.

Also, they never had the terminal cancer that is slavery.

It sometimes seems that the US still has a HUGE slave population with the white slave-masters still alive and well in WASHINGTON DC.
