I can assure you as a French person the economy is the least of our worries. Yes Macron is a criminal, but not for the reasons you say. We live in the 5th richest nation on Earth, that profits from pillaging its neocolonies all across the planet, so there is an abundance of resources to feed and house everyone if the government wanted it.
Of course the government, as any government ever, is an enemy of the people and wants to wage-enslave its population to benefit those who are already privileged.
