One of our own #wawx members is recovering from a pretty bad bout of Covid. He's been in the community for a decade plus now, I've talked with him on Twitter since I joined the platform.
If any of you guys have an acct over there, go and wish him a speedy further recovery.
Hey all, I'm officially new to this forum but I've lurked around here every once in a few days since December 2021 to follow on the snow forecasts, and ever since I just generally lurked to follow the weather while learning things bit by bit.
I withheld on making an account because I don't have anything to contribute, I believe, and I wasn't sure how a newbie or an outsider would be treated. I have a very vague sense on how to read GFS or ECMWF maps but have no idea how to use them to pred
And I bet none of us would scoff at them if they were offered to us.
To your point though, I agree that some are very much ridiculous. It can lead to a culture of entitlement and laziness. Having said that, I have spent a lot of time in both urban and rural France, and I can say for certain that the work ethic of the French is not unlike that of Americans. They just have better benefits.
It's all a question of national priorities. For the French, they have made it a point to emphasize more leisure time and a larger safety net at the expense of overall productivity and business opportunity. Americans have increasingly voiced their desire to edge closer to that emphasis, but we have a much smaller voice compared to corporations, and so we as a nation sacrifice leisure time and a national safety net to gain overall productivity as a more business friendly nation. More money in general, but less time to enjoy it.
