Paris Story

 It's just something of a page three story, which you can be amused about.

The French authorities came up and discovered in the city of Paris....within the 'departments' that make up city government (16 total four-star managers or executives)....the city mayor and city council had gone and hired 11 different women for the executive-level jobs of the city.

The French authorities then went and pulled out the regulation book...which kinda says in French bureaucratic 'lingo'....you can't have an overabundance of female executives.  There's actually a fine that they hand out....so they went to the fine (100k Euro).  Correcting the matter?  No....the city doesn't appear interested in dumping any of the female managers, and things will continue on (with the fine paid to the federal government).

The odds that as time passes, and a male manager retires....that they might fill it with another female?  Maybe.

I don't think the mayor or the city council is worried over the law dynamics, or the lack of male executives in the city government.  Another fine in 2021?  Maybe....but they've got billions to play with, so 100k Euro doesn't really matter).

Resolving past history?  Well....you could make that case.  Frankly, with all the corruption and fake intrigue in government jobs....I don't think it matters much if you end up with sixteen male executives or sixteen female executives....they will all go to the corrupt path sooner or later.  At the pace of things....in a dozen years....half of the Paris executive staff will be trans-people, and it'll twist into a new drama of sorts.
