Pension reform
Officially there are two competing camps: the right champion of efficiency and economic realism, left defender of ordinary people and social justice.
In fact, this reform is unnecessary and dangerous because it leads to a large extent by a pension funding through taxation. Once again, France is the right policy that has left more then to finish the job.
The problem of France today is simple: the inefficiency and cost of its business model. Why waste time on pensions when they should address issues of budget and trade deficits? The objective
government is clear: give pledges to lower cost, save or postpone the loss of triple AAA and impersonate courageous. The reaction of the Left and the unions agreed will smile and foreign journalists who will comment on the abundance of French taste for the "strike"! And voila.
The euro has given us a reprieve of 10 years the day of reckoning come will prove very expensive, so I hope as soon as possible we will lose the triple AAA and get out of the euro since it seems that only periods of bankruptcies and disasters inspire our politicians. I am convinced that the sooner this happens the better, because time is against us.
To clear his head and out of his head that this problem may be with us for the next few months, a rediscovered by chance during a rereading of a book by Jean-Marc Porte on Everest: Marco Siffredi , mountaineer and surf engineering disappeared at the age of 23 years in 2002 on the north side of that mountain.
Alpinist confirmed that conducted 2 times mounted on the roof of the world and tens of 6000 and 7000 m, it is the only one so far to have gone down the entire north face of surfing the year before. A Google search will let you watch video clips tributes, or streaming (DVD print) film on its short life: "Marco shooting star". It shows a young impressive maturity and not at all hothead who knows that it has not room for error on icy slopes of 50 ° at 8000 m. The time of his disappearance, when he just alone with his Sherpa climbing - in spring and therefore still very snowy conditions and difficult - with 4 hours behind schedule on its first ascent - the Everest and then we see him take his first turns before disappearing into the hallway Hornbein is really very moving.
To give his real performance level, it must be remembered that about 10% of climbers from Everest to die there and that only few have succeeded more than a climb. For security reasons, he was himself his board on his back when walking uphill and could not qualify for technical reasons of oxygen during the descent (it would not have seen) and thus might sickness mountains in the area known as death.
There are few feats that have not been reissued at least once thereafter, the descent into the surf of the north face of Everest in 2001 by Marco Siffredi is one. It will soon be 10 years, want their friends or family to organize a tribute to the height of achievement !
