Most have probably seen this, but if you haven’t, it’s a must.
French President Emmanuel Macron delivered a stunning response to the U.S. president, calling his decision “a grave mistake.”
“If we do nothing, our children will know a world of migrations, of wars, of shortage. A dangerous world,” Macron said, referencing the cataclysmic effect of climate change all but completely ignored by the Trump administration.
He also encouraged American scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs to come to France where their contributions and innovation would be appreciated. As for Trump’s vague promise to rework the terms of the Paris agreement, Macron issued a staunch warning.
“The Paris agreement [will] remain irreversible and will be implemented not just by France but by all the other nations,” he said, the two exceptions being Syria and Nicaragua.
“We will succeed,” he continued. “Because we are fully committed, because wherever we live, whoever we are, we all share the same responsibility: ‘Make our planet great again.’”

Did I say something was wrong with it? Pretty sure I didn’t.
So Cal native here. I’ll let you know you it works out. Well, I hope.
Anne, I do hope the single payer system works there, and works well. That said, even before I left, 20something years ago, and for half my life before that, SoCal was constantly in one crisis followed by another. I don’t imagine that will change, so I hope they can make this stick.
