“France would shrivel up because they’re lazy good for nothings (I will not step foot on an Airbus for example).”
The French are not lazy.
They just don’t like to have their retirement benefits or pay reduced, just like hard-working UAW assembly line workers (and Brian Griffin).
I flew on Airbuses to Europe and back. They are good airplanes.
I would however recommend the purchase of Boeing planes, since they are also good and my lovely lady friend owns Boeing stock.
A friend of mine taught business courses in France and Germany for Microsoft. He was not amused by the students work ethic in France. These were business professionals.
Came when they wanted. Took long lunches. Left when they felt like it.
The Germans were the polar opposite.
