I've made fun of the French all my life for being smelly cowards, but perhaps we Americans are the smelly cowards.

Sorry France. Clearly you know how to get shit done.

On the other hand, in my admittedly short visit there, it seemed like the public sector was broken there. You have to summon a magical spirit to find out what day of the month the post office pretends to be open. You have to be currently on fire for the fire department to consider showing up to an emergency... Beautiful country, excellent food, but, I've never seen such a dysfunctional "developed" country. If I was a citizen I'd be pretty pissed all the time as well.
