France accelerates towards the abyss
The first step of the leftish madness in France has started. The Government decided to roll back part of the increase in retirement age, that was passed 2 years ago by the former President Nicolas Sarkozy.

As this devaluation is not good for US-exports it is possible soon we see a direct (QE3) of hidden (via banks) intervention of FED in support of Euro and weakening the dollar. Some analysts call this a "currency war". Some clever analysts call this "madness" that will lead to overall inflation in all currencies and no one will profit from weakening its own currency. But this is a long term threat, while in mid and short term fighting at currency war is a heroic action.

Some angry investors decided to sue Facebook, the IPO bank - Morgan Stanley, and Mark Zuckerberg personally after the share price of newly listed on Stock Exchange company crashed down from the IPO level of $38.
