As to the matter at hand, the OP clearly indicated that this was a duly-elected *Socialist* government in France. So presumably French voters and citizens are now getting what they wanted. I'm not so sure I'd be comfortable with it, but that's OK; I'm not French. Their country, their rules.

I don't believe Amazon or any other company has a god-given right to dominate in every country in the world. OTOH, if French consumers don't mind paying extra in the pursuit of some social goals, well, it's their money. Think of it as a tax on ..... nostalgia, perhaps?
You know, as a general rule, if you don't know Jack, you should abstain. Your post is the most absurd thing I have read here in a long while, I don't think you qualify to participate.

I am French, I am participating in this thread, and where on earth can you deduct form that that I am left-leaning ? French = left, American = right : nice shortcut dude .
