Your blinkered virsion is limiting intellectually, not pragmatic, and lacking compassion for those too old, disabled, or poor to take on new training. Describing people's future lives repeatedly as "toast" is unpleasant and sickening in its schadenfreude. Examine your self righteousness and your audacity to armchair psychologise and sociologise people you will not meet. I doubt you have visited Paris, let alone other regions of France. This is mostly conjecture and black and white thinking;×taxation and wealth redistribution is much more nuanced and interesting then you argue with your simplistic and stubbornly uniform generalisations. Whichever way you see it, the people, who have the power, are going to lose. If we reduce climate change in time, that isn't true.
