Peter St Onge: Fast food managers in the US make almost twice as much as AI developers in France or Germany Europe — and Canada — are in complete denial how poor they’re getting. – Post at X
This is eye-opening. A fast food job in the US pays significantly more than AI developer jobs in France or Germany, which have higher salaries than most other European countries. Europeans simply don’t notice how poor they become compared to others. Choices have consequences.

- I mean that’s a manager though. How much does a shift supervisor make? How far down the In-N-Out ladder do you have to go to make as much as French AI developer? LCH
- You literally get robbed if you make €60k in France. What a joke.
This is probably the wildest data point you’ll see today. The cost to a French employer of a net pay of €39k is a staggering €95k. How is this even possible? Can you imagine the incentive to replace French jobs with AI and robots? Get some popcorn.

- And the 39k is considered “before taxes”. Then the employee pay taxes. Then, the remaining money is subjected to 20% vat plus other taxes. Then, when the person passes away, the government inherits 40%. In France, the States captures 90%+ of the value you create during your life – AS
- Pay 50% in taxes & contributions when you work Then pay 20%+ VAT when you buy anything Then pay 30% on interest if you manage to save something

- And the public services there are a disaster; all my French friends are paying extra for health or education. The tax system is a loot system where elites use the money to fund a crazy lifestyle. On paper they’re all poor, yet they live above most multimillionaires’ standards. France is the country with the most politicians per citizen in the world. Truly a predatory scheme. – One
- I am French and it’s true, although had to believe. My father was self employed, he desperately wanted to hire people but if he wanted to pay them 50k he had to pay another 50k in tax to the government. He was already taxed at 65%. The French Government has killed their economy. – Mimi
