Estelle Platini"Because the discontent of the people is not strong enough to get to the bottom of things, to the point of wanting to regain the powers they had lost, each election brings back the same hope: that of a government that would finally serve those who elected it."
Bernard Charbonneau, in "L'État" (1949)

Bernard Charbonneau in L'État (1949)

Francois HeinderyckxCan everybody please *stop* apologizing for cross-posting? Oh, and can you also stop hoping your message finds us well, while you're at it? I bet the carbon footprint of these completely unnecessary, and utterly grating e-mail openings approaches that of block-chain and AI combined. Thank you.
