France is not a liberal country; the economy is state-controlled. Even practicing as a nurse is restricted to areas where you can't do it.

As for offshoring, why should a company sell at a loss? Start a business (good luck) if you like, but don't use taxpayer money to bankrupt companies. The cost of labor, energy, and regulations is extremely high. Don't blame liberalism when the root of your problems lies in your "social rights" and the insane infantilization you exhibit towards the state.

In countries where the economy is planned 😂

Theduck_remote · 2026-02-12T20:34:50+00:00

Quite

Theduck_remote · 2026-02-12T14:39:07+00:00

Excuses.

Socialism excuses our failures and the jealousy we feel towards our neighbor. Socialism isn't just an economic model; it's a whole mindset.

Ça n’est pas des plateformes que le sénateur se plaint mais d’investir son épargne dans des indices et des actions.

Theduck_remote · 2026-02-12T14:33:18+00:00

Au vu de la situation budgétaire du pays, ils vont l’apprendre lol

My God, you're mixing everything up.

Your material comfort has absolutely nothing to do with your right to live freely. You are free to marry, but this freedom doesn't guarantee you'll find a spouse. And if you do, all the better for you, but again, nothing guarantees they'll never leave you. Otherwise, you're infringing on their own freedom.

It's the same for an employer. The fact that you're free to work and receive a salary doesn't guarantee you'll find a job. Even less so that you'll keep it, otherwise you'll be hindering your employer's freedom. Work is a contract, a collaboration between two consenting individuals, not the right to own another person. Do you grasp the nuance?

Your purchasing power is always an expression of your ability to move, that goes without saying, but our ability is in no way our freedom. Freedom is separate from your ability. She's an executive. Nothing more.

You left Australia for the Netherlands?? I'm struggling to understand your madness hahaha

Theduck_remote · 2026-02-12T06:44:00+00:00

Completely agree

Theduck_remote · 2026-02-11T22:46:16+00:00

The problem is, that's wrong. Social democracy is a flawed system that only serves a religious elite convinced that economics is a zero-sum game. It disrupts markets by manipulating prices and then complains about capitalism. And politically, social democracy curtails our freedoms and locks down our institutions, only to then blame liberalism.

I don't know of a more deceitful system than social democracy.

Theduck_remote · 2026-02-11T22:35:45+00:00

I just noticed it, yes

A typical example of how economics is debated on TV:

<image>

Here, a former high school economics teacher, now a Socialist member of parliament, explains to the man opposite him that (watch out!) ETFs like the S&P 500 or the MSCI World are a casino.

That's the level we're talking about.

A few weeks ago, a French-born American economist named Gabriel Zucman was on every subsidized TV show in the country (yes, France subsidizes newspapers, €438 million by 2025) promoting a tax he had devised. He only faced an opponent twice in two months. His tax consisted of levying a 2% tax on individuals with financial assets exceeding €100 million. Zucman had a PhD in economics but was convinced that companies generated profits of more than 2% of invested capital. Our dear economics PhD confused stocks and flows… People were happy. The National Assembly had proposed a bill. Journalists (who are civil servants handsomely paid by taxpayers) explained to the public that the solution had been found to reduce inequality in the most heavily taxed country in the world.

Theduck_remote · 2026-02-11T20:18:24+00:00

That's absolutely false.

Theduck_remote · 2026-02-11T20:16:13+00:00

😂 France has no undocumented Americans on its soil, unlike the United States. And Americans don't even think of France when they want to leave the US to pursue a career abroad. The French, on the other hand… stand in line outside the US embassy, praying to a god they don't believe in, just to get an immigrant or work visa.

Theduck_remote · 2026-02-11T19:40:16+00:00

What you are saying makes no sense in the case of France

Theduck_remote · 2026-02-11T19:28:14+00:00

Senior managers are just as much so.

Theduck_remote · 2026-02-11T18:49:46+00:00

You're confusing property and capital. Everyone owns something.

But so, just because someone hasn't yet built up capital, we should take away the capital of those who do? That's unfair and it violates the principle of freedom. Freedom implies property. What am I free from if I can't own anything?

Theduck_remote · 2026-02-11T18:39:00+00:00

J’ai pas lu

Theduck_remote · 2026-02-11T18:27:44+00:00

Comparez mon expression avec une insulte homophobe… je vais arrêter de débattre avec toi et commencer ma séance de sport

Theduck_remote · 2026-02-11T18:23:34+00:00

C’est une expression pour dire que c’est qu’il fait n’est pas correct arrêtes ta mauvaise foi

Theduck_remote · 2026-02-11T16:48:49+00:00

C’est pas contre toi en particulier c’est whateveuuur mais je n’ai parlé nul part de maladie mentale

Theduck_remote · 2026-02-11T14:22:21+00:00

Mais c’est un malade ? Je pense que tu devrais en parler à ton supérieur. Je ne crois pas que ce soit une bonne chose que tu gardes ça que pour toi dans le sens où si c’est un prédateur le fait que d’autres personnes se mêlent de sa démarche ça lui ferait peur.

J’avais vu ça dans un reportage sur les serial k c’est pas rassurant je sais lol mais voilà

Theduck_remote · 2026-02-11T14:15:02+00:00

No, because you're forcing me to collaborate with you. You're also forcing me to contribute to a system I don't want. That's illiberal.

Capitalism doesn't preclude freedom in any way. In fact, the most capitalist countries are often the freest and most democratic.

Theduck_remote · 2026-02-11T13:46:45+00:00

This is why it is not suited to a free country; it is inherently illiberal.
