PARIS — France is embarking on a grand experiment — how to diversify the overwhelmingly white “grandes écoles,” the elite universities that have produced French leaders in every walk of life.
Honestly, I can’t think of a single accomplished Frenchman who emerged from one of these fine institutions in the past fifty years (I can’t think of a single accomplished Frenchman, for that matter) so what’s the big deal? Still, it’s a shame to see a meritocracy destroyed in favor of a boobacracy.
Unfortunately, France now has a transportation and energy infrastructure that is leaving ours in the dust.
So where they going to go after they tour their cheese factories? Of course, if they’re invaded, I’m sure those trains go backwards fast, too!
Vous vous savez comment faire du mal à un gars.
A gar’s a big, boney fish, right?
To tour the wine factories of course—energized like the backward moving trains, by the world’s most forward nuclear reactors, which we invented and then watched the French take over. Now we prefer to watch the Chinese eat our lunch and pay them for the privilege.
