Isn't that what I've been saying all along? Can't we agree that this hoax was meant to do this from the beginning. Make the ordinary people pay? Come on Zhukov, your so close.

Once again. That's the POINT. Drive down wages, industry, and allow 3rd world countries to pollute as much as they want. It's austerity for you. Not wallstreet.

Wrong,

There were TONS and TONS of Union strikes. It pretty much shut the whole country down. General strikes = struggle.

[Zhukov]

The strikes were because the workers were going to end up paying more than the corporations, because they were going to hurt the French economy, because more jobs would be lost when French manufacturers closed down and moved to Germany/China. Not because of the inherent lie of carbon pollution. There was no struggle by climate change detractors.

France's biggest union, the CGT, said 180 protest marches were planned across the country.

"The issue is getting new direction in economic and social policies," said CGT leader Bernard Thibault, calling on Sarkozy to chart a new course in tackling unemployment and falling living standards.

There was no debate about the validity of climate change, and there was no 'victory' for the Climate Change Hoax whatever the fuck you would call yourselves collectively - it's gone back to the drawing board and discussions are planned.

As I am an elitist pig, I thought I would correct the obvious grammar and syntax errors in Coolie's last post:

1 - The punctuation should be a question mark, not a period.
2 - This is awkward in context - consider a revision.
3 - Incorrect usage of the pronoun for the contraction.

4 - This paragraph is fragmentary and choppy. Consider a revision.

5 - The word "tons" implies mass, not quantity. You should use the word "many". Also, using "tons" twice is redundant.
6 - The sentence subject should agree with the plural to which it refers.
7 - This is phrased awkwardly. Consider a revision.

I feel very bourgeois now.
