You see/hear the call as usual, and if you decide to pick up it pauses your meeting with yourself (just like it works when on any other meeting if you get called)

And you would be correct, that's why previous comment indicated that you can then manually change your status, which will then make you appear as available. But as you are in a call, teams will no more automatically change your status to idle.

Except that's not how this work. What you described is specifically for representatives of the state (the french nation does not have a religion and it's representatives should not show theirs either) the citizens are free to do whatever they want and be as visibly religious as they want. Now, theright (including wauquiez) have a problem with Muslims having the same rights as the others but that's another story

The problem is that you make the assumption that the farmers are the ones making bank, I don't know in your country but in mine they definitely are not. If the prices go down it will mean they will just stop producing, not farming for cheaper

And now, the government just officially defined LFI as "extrême gauche". And I don't mean in speeches but legally. This pissed off the real "extrême gauche", stating that there is a difference between trying to tame capitalism vs abolishing it. But hey all the same to the media and the government: don't you dare criticizing this magnificent system that keeps us on top and you at the bottom

Almost there. So the "value" provided by the owner is money. It is capital. Which is needed purely because of the system in place, that was the whole point all along.

In almost all cases, the owner does not build the house. Thats done by the masons, electricians, plumbers etc ... So the owner did not create value

This is not capitalism, this is a market based system, which can happen to exist outside of capitalism.

Capitalism is is the ownership of value by capital ( property of shares, housing etc.. gives you benefits because you own them, not because you provided value).

Something to keep in mind while talking about birth rate in France, is that we have a retirement system that is centered around growth. We do not have individual retirement plans, we pay each month for the currently retired people, and the workers will pay for ours when we retire. This creates a problem when the population of retired ppl is in augmentation and the active population ( working and paying taxes) is declining.

For a long time there was way more active pop than retired so we have a safety net, but it will slowly erode. And currently the political "solution" being pushed is not growing the active population (immigration for instance), but shifting the system towards a capitalisation (ie. Simililar to 401k)

Oh this one is really something. Even as a clueless teen I still had WTF moments, and I don't even want to read it now, I just know I will be cringing the whole time.

Just wanted to chime in and say that all french representatives voted against it, because France have strong regulations imposed upon farmers and this agreement would allow for food grown or raised under less strict regulations to be sold in France. As these products will probably be sold cheaper, it raises concern for farmers who will stil need to comply to regulations, or for consumer if these regulations are lifted.
