They really are a scree-um...:

Over the past decade, the region has pushed away more economic development than the average French region, and the trend is accelerating.

No capital region in the world loses has lost jobs as Paris has. Blinded by its brilliant past, badly governed, fragmented in his selfishness, it’s anemic and failing to register strongly in the global competition of cities in the twenty-first century.

Not to be confused with that lucid “knowing better about things”, here we find a testimony to the idea of a mealy-mouthed formed of socialism which intends to equalize the appreciative masses – trading steady, equitable growth for, say, most of your liberties. Sure seems to be working wonders, eh?
