Yeah, it's say's it was deleted by the creator, anyway that not what's important here
You've stated :
The way your statement is worded imply this is a common occurrence when I'm fact it is usually the other way around, France supply a lot of energy to it's neighbors
Yes in 2022 a year spectacularly weird for energy production everywhere in Europe thanks to the Ukrainian situation
But in 2023 France export more than import again Source : https://www.lemonde.fr/economie/article/2024/01/17/la-france-est-redevenue-premiere-exportatrice-d-electricite-en-europe-en-2023_6211385_3234.html
It's not clear from your text than this was your original intention
No you did not say that, you said:
Inflation doesn't appear in your text
Furthermore, even if you say that now, the capping of electricity prices are not only to combat inflation, but yes it is a reason, one other is to prevent private company to dictate the price of electricity, as an "essential" it's important that every one in the country can afford electricity, it's the same thing here for medication for exemple, state chose the price for almost every medicine you can buy in France
That's can be an entire new discussion (that I will not engage here, because I'm, and I think you too, as almost everyone, have not all the keys to discuss it) but economists say's a lot of things about this subject and forget that's France is it's own country and by that, have it's own way of thinking about debt, for many french leftist economists (not all obviously), debt is a good thing for exemple and that impact the way we use and think gouvernement funding
If you're interested I can link you to some resources on the question (albeit in french sorry)
PS: Sadly as I'm rereading my message, I'm realizing that the tone of it is harsher than I want it to be, buy I don't have the time or the energy to rewrite it in a more tasteful maner, sorry again
Your tone is perfectly fine and you made very good points, thank you for the information.
