Well, when the good ol' US of A is not creating an unholy alliance of gays, Arabs, and illegal aliens to bash meek little atheists, we're riding a free market economy to heights France can only dream of. Ah, France. It's easy to bash, but let's not (They're good at sharing terror intelligence, ya know).

Instead, let's read this WaPo opinion column on the country's current labor woes.

When you ask French university students who is the Bill Gates of France, they look at you blankly. It's not simply that they can't name one. The bigger problem is that they can't imagine why it matters, or why that has anything to do with why they can't find a good job.

Of course, if you ask an American student about Bill Gates, he'll blame the plutocrat for a crappy DVD drive in his Xbox that keeps breaking. Goddamit, Bill. I've never had a videogame system break until I got yours. Honestly, what a gyp.
