Yes I understood ... provided that the dealers and macros ultimately spend their dirty money in France ... and given the fairly severe French anti-money laundering laws we can doubt it *

In short, the sum, which must be low overall, is it simply measurable ???

* flat, personally I am always quite amazed that we let roll in cars at 100 € young people who have never really worked (other than in the "dirty" ...) ... since these cars have to be insure them or at least register them ...

We are talking about 2 billion euros per year in France for drug trafficking.

So less than 0.1% of GDP ... Not enough to make lines (of course coke mdr) : Cheesy:

I think that during the French Connection it was higher as a% of GDP ...

Well, we are getting lost in feminism there ... right?

Interesting little story http://www.lemonde.fr/big-browser/artic ... 32693.html

(...)
In an interview with FastCompany, the two creators say that investors were initially skeptical: they thought "the cute idea" but doubted its success. Because Kate Dwyer and Penelope Gazin are women. And very often, they feel it: their collaborators, investors and designers, have complicated conversations with them.

"These collaborators, almost all of them male, often answered us late, and in a summary and vaguely disrespectful manner", they describe. For example, a developer replied to an e-mail with "OK, girls ...".

The two women then decide to invent a third member of their team: Keith Mann, presented as co-founder and now responsible for communication by e-mail. And from the moment this fictional man appears, everything changes.

(...)


But in my opinion it smells like free publicity ...

It's still funny, because me, for 20 years that I use the Internet, the great majority of commercial emails are signed by women (falsely for the majority) ... and whose first name often ends with an "A "... (studies have shown that female names ending in A have more sex appeal ...) ...

..


With each withdrawal or transfer of cash that I make to my bank see international transfer ... I am asked for a reason ... I have always answered in letters of the big nonsense ... It was prostitution of my wife, my children, buying or selling narcotics .... And even I sank into the gore by putting a foix "sale of a kidney of my son to organ trafficking" .... I do not 've never been worried ... But hey in my bank agency they spotted me ... I even suspect them of writing something else on their papelard while I tell them some bullshit ...

As for the money from prostitution ... the state is indeed the first mackerel (and not macro Christophe) because these ladies in order to benefit from social insurance very often declare an activity of independent worker (masseuse, hostess, ............) to the social and fiscal services .... well they must forget to count a bit of small change ... But (of course not the foreigners who hit the heavyweight on the edges of national) they declare .... When almonds paid for munching or by the customer ... Ben direction the boxes ..

Tonight in 15 minutes on Complément d'Enquête: http://www.francetvinfo.fr/replay-magaz ... 62281.html

No doubt a lot of figures on drug trafficking in the 93 ... the title is also quite suggestive:

"Further investigation". 93: the essential shit industry


Cannabis trafficking in Seine-Saint-Denis would bring in 1 billion euros in turnover per year and would employ 100 "employees".

Heard on the radio La Premiere just now, a debate to come http://www.rtbf.be/radio/liveradio/lapremiere

A new fad of certain feminiSteS:

Feminist associations consider the French language to be misogynistic because the masculine prevails over the feminine and want to propose reforms ...

There I am divided between the spite of give audience to these kinds of ideas and feeling of frank fun... like but hello what!

Belgium was already talking about it in 2016 and apparently the idea is not new (1978 my god ...): http://www.levif.be/actualite/sciences/ ... 03701.html

The French language, as beautiful as it is, is full of sexist clichés, it is a fact. It crystallizes them as already noticed in 1978, Marina Yaguello in her book "Words and women": "Language is a cultural mirror, which fixes symbolic representations and echoes prejudices and stereotypes, at the same time. time that it feeds and maintains these ".

Today, it's Davy Borde's turn to criticize spelling and grammar in "Tirons la langue. Plaidoyer contre le sexisme dans la langue française". The author tells Cheek Magazine that "50% of men are women", even if the language and its use make them invisible.

The masculine wins

This basic rule of grammar is probably the most striking example of sexism in the French language. Unsurprisingly, it was a man who established it, Claude Fabre de Vaugelas, member of the French Academy. He wrote in 1647: "The masculine gender being the noblest must predominate whenever the masculine and the feminine are found together". An aberration for Davy Borde: "Why write '1000 men and a woman got together' and always '1000 women and a man got together'?"

As if that were not enough, another grammarian of the French Academy, Nicolas Beauzée, drives the point home a century later by justifying this rule by: "The masculine gender is considered more noble than the feminine because of the superiority of the male on the female ". Needless to say, the Académie française only accepted women into its midst in 1980 when it was founded in 1635.

Louis-Nicolas Bescherelle, the man who gave his name to the book sacred to all French teachers, wrote a few centuries later in his work La grammaire nationale: "Masculinity always announces a great and noble idea".

Attempts by women to go against this sexist principle have all been in vain. Already in 1789, during the French Revolution, they asked the National Assembly that: "All sexes and all beings must be and are equally noble". It goes without saying that men have played deaf ears since even today this rule of grammar is taught to all students.

Davy Borde considers that she is "pedagogically complex and symbolically misogynist". In his plea, he asks for the abandonment of this sexist rule justified by baseless and medieval arguments.
"Madam President"

This sentence was pronounced by the French deputy Julien Aubert in 2014. It was addressed to Sandrine Mazetier, President of the session of the National Assembly. For Davy Borde, there is an indisputable link between "the grammatical and social genre". French grammar clearly separates the man from the woman and this is reflected in many common names such as the register of trades for example. Thus, there is no feminine in the term "firefighter" emphasizing the cliché that it is a male job. Despite the feminization of certain terms, few people use them, as these misogynistic clichés of the French language are anchored in the collective unconscious.
"Woman" and sexist prejudices

The author demonstrates in his work to what extent the French vocabulary is gendered and how it conveys a large number of sexist prejudices, in particular in the lexical field of the word "woman". Indeed, Davy Borde notes that the term "man" designates both a male person and all of humanity. In contrast, the word "woman" refers to a female person and a wife. Thus, the author highlights the fact that, even in the vocabulary, the woman is ceaselessly subordinate to the man, because referred to her role of wife.

As the author points out in his book, the term "woman" has a sexual connotation. The origin of the word dates back to the 16th century, when women were referred to by the word "sex". Many adjectives or common names refer to sex when they are feminine, for example: masseuse, slut or even bitchy, feminine guys!

Davy Borde also returns to a consequence of this rule which is widely debated, the use of the term "mademoiselle". Indeed, it has long been used to qualify an unmarried woman, because once the ring is on her finger, she turns into a "madam". However, single or married men are satisfied with a "gentleman". Where it was important to specify the civil status of the woman, the man is exempt.

The militant author notes that "the questions raised by the grammatical gender are not THE problem whose resolution will make it possible to put an end to the patriarchy", nevertheless the "symbolic non-neutrality deserves to be criticized and even fought". The book reminds us that language influences society and vice versa. For its author: "It is high time to continue the assault undertaken for centuries against the politically problematic archaisms of the French language". A language and uses "in opposition to the egalitarian and emancipatory vision of the feminist movement", according to Davy Borde.

Well I suggest to all those who consider the French language as misogynist to forget French, learn Arabic and live according to their customs! : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen:
