GSt, most of the population of France would move to the U.S. tomorrow if they could. Friends from France tell me of the 35 hr max work week the govt instituted, thinking it would force companies to hire more workers.

Instead, companies shift some operations to other countries, and French workers take Fridays off, since by then they have put in their 35 hours! They recently had a union holiday, a day where everything is closed including the tv stations, so there's not even anything on TV all day!

It's sad to hear the disrespect and disgust these folks have for their native govt. They are just hoping they can stay in the US long enough to get citizenship.
