Macron Says France Now Facing the “End of Abundance”

 With massive droughts in Texas and the Southwest, supply chain issues, failing crops, Lake Mead drying up, massive inflation and the US Government spending money like drunken sailors, we wonder if the entire civilized world is now at the “end of abundance”.  God seems to have a pattern of blessing those who fear and adore Him.  He also seems to have a pattern of destroying those nations who reject and mock Him.  Where is America in the fear him vs. mock him category?  Pretty sure France has been in the “mock him” category since the “age of enlightenment”.

In a bracing message, President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday warned the French people to be ready for “sacrifices” as the country is facing "the end of abundance" amid a series of crises.

“What we are going through is a big shift, a big upheaval," Macron said at a Cabinet meeting at the Elysee Palace after a three-week holiday break. He cited a “series of serious crises” from the instability triggered by the Ukraine war to the disturbing effects of climate change, including the unprecedented drought that has gripped the entire country.

He said France now faces an “end of abundance” visible since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020 in terms of public finance, shortages of certain materials, and a breakdown in the supply chain. He warned the French that they would have to face the consequences.

“Our freedom has a cost, and sometimes when it has to be defended, it can mean sacrifices," he said.

Macron also urged the members of his government to act with seriousness and credibility as they address the crisis and “not to give in to demagoguery," apparently referring to how society often lays blame on outsiders and minorities amid hard times.
