France is dead meat on the hook - the Republic's days are numbered and coming to an end.

Too bad - they used to be a technology leader 100 years ago.

France is a complete disaster.

The poster child for weak-kneed socialism.

I remember all the fanfare over their Minitel, a phone based text information system they rolled out in 1982.

They were way late to the internet revolution because, "who needs it? We already have ze Minitel".
