Congeries of cross connected concepts
Apparently a foreign CEO said bad things about French workers and so naturally there is much talk of revenge and fighting back. What makes it funny is that the bad things were a response to the French government asking this ill manned foreign troll to rescue a failing French company. Once again the essential dysfunction of collectivism is exposed — it desperately needs the efforts of precisely the people it most despises. If people like the CEO weren’t required to fix the collectivism induced problems, they wouldn’t care. But when he refuses to sacrifice himself and his stock holders for the NeoCom’s benefit, it cannot be tolerated.
P.S. Before we feel all superior about the stupid French, let’s be reminded of our own government punishing a financial rating company for being honest about the USA’s debt problem.

I like this sentence: ‘Mickaël Wamen, the head of the Confédération Générale du Travail union at the Goodyear plant, in Amiens, said Mr. Taylor belonged in a “psychiatric ward.” ’
Well, somebody belongs in a psychiatric ward, but I don’t think it’s Mr. Taylor.

It’s that kind of thing that makes me understand the view that collectivism is a mental disease — what, exactly, does Wamen think the result of his bluster will be? That the Grizz will suddenly repent and save the factory?

It’s called grandstanding and it’s for the benefit of his constituency who will no doubt re-elect him to his cushy job.
