In civilised domains, they help out the needy. Mr S. has probably
paid a lot of tax.

Maybe it is payback time

I can't contrive any interpretation that includes sloman that does
not
grant me equal benefits and i am working. Nor can i figure out how
any unemployment benefit can be much more than a burger flipper
makes, let alone be long term. You get just 6 month in the US and
only about what a burger flipper makes. Must be some national
notional difference.
Unemployment benefits better than working as an engineer or
scientist? It can't last, that society will pay for that excess.

Take a look at the present situation in France.

May i presume you mean the wilfully ill educated children of
immigrants? Or did you have some other situation in mind.

No I was referring to what happens when everyone is on the dole.

It could well be that europe is in for interesting times. Sarcozy is
trying to deal with the demographic landslide that is on the way down
the mountain and maybe can't be stopped.

And there's no actual basis for the run-up of the euro, so it may well
be a bubble. Anyone who cheers the appreciation of the euro as they
would cheer a football score probably hasn't thought out the
consequences.

This is especially radical:

Meanwhile, I'm selling a bunch of stuff to Pratt&Whitney and GE and
Boeing. I wonder what the euro thing, and a potential Airbus crash,
will do to Rolls Royce jet engine sales?
