Mounir Laggoune wrote that he spent a month in the United States working on Finary's artificial intelligence. He believed that, despite its flaws, the country was driven by a strong energy of construction, whereas in France, in his view, the cities were ravaged. He attributed this situation to fifty years of disastrous political decisions, made by both the left and the right, and deemed it unlikely that officials who had been in power for years could change everything. He identified as a fundamental cause a state that, in his opinion, taxed and managed everything, while living on credit since 1974. He argued that the French debt reached 3.6 trillion euros, or 119% of GDP and a record. He also compared the 21 million private sector employees to the 6 million public agents, 3.3 million unemployed, and 17 million retirees. Without change, he warned, dark days awaited the country. However, Laggoune said he remained hopeful, mentioning the know-how, culture, and history of France as well as the interest the world would have in it. He called on the silent majority that works quietly and finances what he referred to as a "circus" to make their voices heard. He announced that the Finary channel would analyze the economic programs of the parties, backed by figures, and said he wanted to give a major oral exam in economics to each candidate. He added that he doubted they would accept. #France #Économie #Politique (translated)

Christian Marcussen wrote that a deleted TikTok video from October 2022 showed Afrah al-Jabouri visiting Iran, where she stated that she felt comfortable covering herself as much as possible. He noted that the video was posted while Iranian women were burning their hijabs in protest, and that al-Jabouri wrote in the post's text that some did not understand freedom, and that it was disrespectful to burn something related to Islam. Marcussen wrote that the video was posted a month after 22-year-old Jina Mahsa Amini was arrested by Iran's morality police for not wearing a hijab. According to him, Amini was abused in police custody, hospitalized, and died. He wrote that her death triggered the Woman, Life, Freedom protests, where women burned their hijabs in protest against mandatory covering and violence. Marcussen added that the protests were still ongoing when the video was posted, and that over 200 people had been killed and more than 5,000 arrested. He described al-Jabouri's video as mocking and expressed sympathy for Iran's theocratic regime. He called it extremely repugnant and believed it reflected a deeply radicalized mind. He also described the video as an example of what he called islamfluencing: an attempt to portray Islam and the oppression of Islamic regimes as appealing and positive. #Iran #KvindersRettigheder #Protester (translated)

Guillaume Kasbarian challenged the idea that retirees acquired their rights through their contributions, arguing that these had financed their parents' pensions and that current contributions financed theirs. He noted that a worker contributed 15% in the 1970s, compared to 28% today. He also wrote that the deputies refused an indexation that was reassessed every year, while the debt, in his opinion, was exploding, and compared the pension system to a Ponzi scheme. #Retraites #Pensions #Économie (translated)

Guillaume Kasbarian wrote that the deputies had refused the day before to change the tax allowance for retirees and had opposed that day the de-indexing of pensions and social benefits. He indicated that he had proposed to end their automatic increase while the deficit, in his opinion, was exploding, but the deputies had rejected his proposal. He estimated that the workers, who paid contributions and taxes, as well as their children, to whom the debt would be left, would bear the cost. He deemed this position irresponsible and stated that the country was heading towards a deadlock. #Retraites #Députés #Politique (translated)
