En France, on a inventé le Concorde.
En 1969, il décollait et atteignait Mach 2 symbole de la grandeur gaullienne, conçu pour défier les Américains.
En 1972, le TGV 001 battait le record mondial à turbine (318 km/h).
En 1981, le TGV électrique reliait Paris à Lyon à 260 km/h. En 2007, il pulvérisait encore le record mondial sur rail : 574,8 km/h.
Dans les années 70, le plan Messmer lançait le plus grand programme nucléaire civil de l’Histoire : 58 réacteurs, jusqu’à 70-80 % de notre électricité, une indépendance énergétique que le monde entier nous enviait.
Dassault, Sud-Aviation, EDF, Framatome, la SNCF : nos ingénieurs étaient les meilleurs. On avait dix à vingt ans d’avance sur presque tout le monde.
Puis 1981, Mitterrand. Nationalisations massives (banques, acier, chimie, électronique, aéronautique). Semaine de 39 heures. Lois Auroux. Charges sociales qui explosent. Syndicats tout-puissants. Fiscalité punitive. Droit du travail rigidifié.
En moins de cinquante ans, le socialisme a transformé un pays d’ingénieurs conquérants en un pays de grèves, de délocalisations et de stagnation relative.
L’industrie est passée d’environ 28 % du PIB à 11 %.
Le Concorde a été abandonné. Notre nucléaire a été presque démantelé pendant des décennies faute de choix politique mortifère.
Ce n’est pas le destin, c’est le prix d’une idéologie qui a préféré redistribuer et réglementer plutôt que construire et innover.
A bon entendeur.
Y’a des joueurs de ZINZIN au Sporting
Ils sont impressionnants physiquement
Y’a 4/5 mecs dans l’effectif qui gagnent 30 mètres balle au pied à chaque projection vers l’avant
Irankunda, Suarez, Doumbia, Simoes…
Et Altimira MEGA PROPRE
(Tout ça en ayant perdu Diomande, Trincao, Hjulmand…)
@kellyclarkson I’m not siding with anyone, however you are complaining about being treated like a normal person (normal person=can’t and won’t pay 15k for a wooden toy) just saying.
Art of Play’s security footage actually proves Kelly completely right:
1. She knew what she wanted: She walked straight to specific items without wasting time, exactly as she claimed.
2. The body language speaks volumes: Her nervous demeanour while pointing at the bird contrasts sharply with the staff member’s overconfident gestures.
3. The Price-Pointing: The staffer stood there overly confident, explicitly pointing out the price of the bird before trying to steer her toward a "cheaper" option, something she never asked for.
4. The Reaction: Her body language shows genuine shock and nerves, not entitlement. She stood there frozen for a solid 15 seconds, processing the awkwardness and deciding what to do, before putting everything back and walking out.
5. As someone who can't afford a $15K singing bird, I’d be furious too if a store owner rubbed the price tag in my face like that. x.com/DollarBeKnowin…

Luis Suárez scores again and becomes Sporting's 𝗔𝗟𝗟-𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘 𝗧𝗢𝗣 𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗘𝗥 in the Champions League 👏🥇
Sporting now have 6 points from their first 2 games, putting them at the top of the Champions League standings for now... 👀
Not everyone has yet to see much interest in the #UCL League Phase. The secret is knowing what your priorities should be.
This is ultimately a preliminary round where the only thing that matters is going through. If you only care about the top elite, you're never going to find a League Phase fulfilling. The biggest names will progress in some form, their real jeopardy doesn't arrive until next year's knockouts.
The secret to enjoying a League Phase, is looking for the stories, the stories that a European season delivers every single year. This can be the exploits of competition debutants, the underdogs making a push against the odds for a historic knockout place, and the names upsetting the apple cart to grab a top spot in a European climate dominated by the "Big 5" Leagues.
One such example of the latter is Sporting CP 🇵🇹, whose European season extended all the way to the Quarter Finals last term, including a Round of 16 turnaround against Bodø/Glimt 🇳🇴 which was a bigger deal than some may realise.
Rui Borges 🇵🇹's side have maximised a favourable start to their League Phase, coming from behind to win at home to Galatasaray 🇹🇷, and tonight picking up a well-fought 2-0 win away to RC Lens 🇫🇷.
Sporting remain one of Europe's best teams for front-footed flair, and a definite worthwhile watch.
