In this role, I’ve had a lot of conversations with workers and professionals in one little corner of the country. Here are some reasons why a lot of French people in the regions feel embattled. Essentially, the tax system penalises you for being self-employed or running a small business.

A Curious Synchronicity: Summer 2010 and the War of 1812

by  • 

With today being July 4th I’ve been reading about the War of 1812 which I know very little about. Fought between American patriots against British forces, the Royal Navy, and certain Native American tribes wanting a federation of their own (with British encouragement in order to limit Us expansion), the War began on June 18, 1812 and ended by Britain and American signing the Treaty of Ghent.
