Ladies and gentlemen of the interwebs, in today's episode of why you should always give

the benefit of the doubt even to douchebags, I present to you Emmanuel Macron,

wearing sunglasses at the World Economic Forum event in Davos, and I'll explain to you

the joke that I subsequently deleted but we'll lean back into

in today's episode. Macron speaking, caca, behold. But we do prefer respect to bullies.

We do prefer science to plutism. And we do prefer rule of law to brutality. We have a place

where rule of law and predictability is still the rule of the game. And my guess is that it

is largely underpriced by the market. Having place like Europe which sometimes is too slow for

sure and is to be reformed for sure but which is predictable loyal and where you know

that the rule of the game is just the rule of law, it's a good place.

And here in the epicenter of this continent, we do believe that we need more growth, we need

more stability in this world, but we do prefer respect to bullies. We do prefer science to

plutism. Oh, we're already, we're back in the beginning. We do prefer rule of law to brutality., we're back to the beginning. And we do prefer rule of law to brutality.

I don't know. We're not. You're welcome in Europe and you are more than welcome to France.

Oh, the rule of law in France, lest we forget who they detained and arrested.

Stefan, whoa, no, not Stefan Banquale. What's his name? Uh, Pavel Durov

from Telegram. The rule of law in a country where set aside his potentially pedophilic

relationship with his wife, which was not his wife at the time when he was 15 and she was, I don't

know, 40. Set aside that. Set aside the media covering up for 15 and she was I don't know 40 set aside that set aside the

media covering up for that and you know trying to fudge lines on ages you know to preserve

legal consequences set all that aside this is the man who wanted to censor sent censor

social media so that the world could not see the abject steaming cesspool of a dumpster fire
