Maybe I'm mislead, but here you have a city where you are basically stuck where you live because all amenities MUST be where you live. 105 miles is 168km, they say 20mn end to end, that's 140m/s, or ~500km/h. So only fro

I've never been so "in the zone" than while coding on small CPUs in assembly for fun. I write 6502 (on Oric Atmos, an 1983 computer) and LR35902 (the GameBoy CPU, basically a mix between a z80 and a 8080). Those CPU are very

I was so convinced, after all the delays, the cost overruns and the general bureaucracy surrounding the whole project, that it would fail miserably. I'm so happy it seems to go flawlessly since its (perfect) launch.

You didn't like OPs comment, but you replied anyway. And you can't know if you like something before reading it. And it is a forum, where anyone can (reasonably) tell everyone what (s)he think.

Yes I am. State aid is not only guaranteed bonds. Partial unemployement is, too.

Exactly. " he asked the all companies whose employees are being partially payed by the state to be very moderate in paying dividends", my point.

Again, what I say is not "stricly false" at all, I'm just quoting Le Maire. And he's just talking about taxes, not partial unemployment.
