Happy Holidays Hollande: French Joblessness Surges To Another New Record High

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Having proclaimed the creation of jobs-jobs-jobs as his mandate when elected in 2012, Francois Hollande has so far overseen the loss of nearly 600,000 French jobs. At 3.488 million, French joblessness has never been higher (and French bond yields never lower) and has ben rising - practically unabated - for the 31 straight months since his 'raise taxes on the wealth' election (and 42 months straight overall).

 

The cries for lower rates and Sovereign QE remain but, we ask in a desperate plea for sanity, what is it that QE-driven lower-rates will do going forward that they have utterly failed to do for the last three-and-a-half years?

At first I read "Hollande Erected" on the chart.  Same difference.

Hollande should start blaming it all on Bush. Works in our country. ;-)

further proof obama follows the saul alinsky playbook of flooding the zone to overload the system, melt it down, & leave government the last entity standing and thus the solution.

Ah, the 'ol French surrender jokes !

This kind of ugly disdain and nasty jokes come from the firm refusal of the French to join America in Irak, in 2003.

Since France refused to go to Iraq, American warmongers and neo-cons made French army look like cowards – as a punishment.

But History has proved the French were right, and that the WMD were only a dirty trick to serve as a pretext.

Nevertheless, the hate of American warmongers against France remains still there, well alive, even in ZH.

This stale hate still shows through "innocent good jokes" about the “surrender monkeys” and their white flag … As for the rest, the French can be proud of their Military History which remains despite these stupid jokes the best military record in Europe.

In fact the French - surrounded by the Germans, English, Dutch, Italians and Spaniards (among others) - succeeded to win and guard the largest country in the very heart of Europe.

According to the British historian Niall Ferguson they did it by fighting 168 major wars even against such badasses as the Roman Empire, the British Army and the Turkish forces. They've won 109, lost 49 and drawn 10 times.

Major job cuts at Coca-Cola:

It could 1,000 jobs lost or well over 2,000, according to the Wall Street Journal, which says the cuts could come as soon as next month. 

The report says the cuts will focus on Coke's corporate staff, which means plenty of jobs could be lost here in Atlanta.

What you do expect from a full socialist country ? Especially that his motto was moar taxes, moar gubernement, he was also more worried about that infamous gay marriage law that nobody wanted and trying to brainwash our kids with feminist gender theory at school (which triggered a huge backlash among the population.)

What's the problem?  They botched the sale of two ships for Russia which is putting many more Frenchy's out of work and,,,  isn't exactly a bell ringer for more sales. Doesn't exactly look like the French government see's a jobless problem... now does it.

I have recently been informed that I will have to start charging VAT on the sales of e-publications going to persons in the European Union. I'm not a citizen or resident of the European Union or subject to their laws. I refuse to serve in the capacity of tax collector for that bunch of parasites. I refuse to spend one second of my unpaid time doing their bookkeeping. I refuse to collect or remit any funds to them. How do they plan to enforce this? Amazon says they will collect it for me and take care of all the required paperwork, etc. so I don't have to worry my mathematically challenged little head about it, but I'm so offended I am planning on making my publications on Amazon unavailable in the EU. As for my own site, well, they can send me a bill and try to collect and good luck to them or they can block my site.

Just stop doing business with Europe and shut the fu...ck up! If you don't like something, don't force yourself!

Sell your stuff to the Asian or South-American market.
