AMERICAN CREATION, FRENCH JEALOUSY
In France, Amazon's success is the object of jealousy . It sparked a rather motley political sling from environmentalists, far left activists, professional politicians and trade unionists aimed at blocking its development.
Accused of unfair competition, destroying jobs or damaging the environment, the e-commerce giant has become the target of lobbies, anti-capitalist fever and interest groups that see a very Evil eye on the gigantic profits made for services they were unable to provide due to Covid.
At the worst of the covid crisis, Amazon had to close its warehouses for more than 35 days following its conviction by a court for insufficiently protecting its employees from the virus. The State services, in particular the tax authorities, which continued to carry out their work, were never concerned.
In order to protect local businesses and businesses, and to the detriment of consumers, some local elected officials are now discouraging the establishment of Amazon in their municipality. Nationally, the Gafa tax was put in place at the end of July, and it is consumers, once again, who will foot the bill.
Shouldn't France be inspired by the United States and Canada to fight the recession and the wave of unemployment that will befall following the political management of the covid-19 crisis?
