  1. Solon viennent d'annoncer qu'ils vont cesser leurs activités à l'automne à cause du manque de financement.

    Je suis fucking triste et fâché! 😠

    Notre foutu gouvernement de marde qui, d'un côté, fait juste couper partout dans les programmes sociaux, la transition écologique et le transport en commun, mais qui, de l'autre côté, donne des fucking milliards aux entreprises privés, aux riches, ou pour construire des autoroutes.

    However, though he rejected the tyranny, he did not administer affairs in the mildest possible manner, nor in the enactment of his laws did he show a feeble spirit, nor make concessions to the power­ful, nor consult the pleasure of his electors.

    Such men do not even enjoy what they long for when they get it, but are filled with continual pangs, tremors, and struggles by the fear of future loss.

    However, we must be fortified not by poverty against deprivation of worldly goods, nor by friendlessness against loss of friends, nor by childlessness against death of children, but by reason against all adversities.

    He was chosen archon​, and made mediator and legislator for the crisis, the rich accepting him readily because he was well-to‑do, and the poor because he was honest.
