Denis Jacquet is an entrepreneur and economic columnist.
The West has abandoned its territories.
Since a long time.
The little ones don't matter.
Not very visible, few in number, their distress is not seen sufficiently in the 8pm newspaper, a zoom function is needed.
France is no exception.
Its 36,000 communes, are in large majority virtually bankrupt, its rural communes rustle with figures which miraculously emerge sometimes, to relieve our conscience, but without doing anything about it, in the face of a record suicide rate of retired farmers.
Unlike all of its neighbors, France loves “
the big guys
”.
Obese people, “
overweight
”
businesses and territories
.
Helping them, putting them forward, even to the contempt of their small suppliers and competitors, is the priority.
A company that sells planes or power plants runs into billions and impresses the good people.
Fear, in this period of Covid is successful and makes us forget our fundamental rights without asking a question, but the distress of the little ones is not recipe.
The death of the little one has no influence on the popularity rates of our policies.
A good “
little one
” in France must die in the shadows and not ruin the effort of illusion created by the measures and announcements of our successive governments.

The case of the BridgeStone factory (800 people) was another example.
Here is that all our Ministers, take a helicopter, force the door of the company, in an arrival scripted like a film of series B (while everything is marked out in advance), so that the Minister can appear like the Prince who slay the dragon and save the Princess.
Bad Disney.
It takes talent!
Why hate the "small, nonessential"?
The politician is a magician who sells illusions in order to get re-elected, and the numbers must strike everyone's mind.
Small territories, SMEs / VSEs, traders, entrepreneurs (2.5% of the population), this does not fill the ballot boxes.
To flatten political opponents, you need a club.
The figures of the "
big ones
" impress.
The other reason is congenital.
At the ENA we train people who are supposed to be competent (to question) to manage public power, but a large part is sluggish in large groups (never in 1 SME).
Therefore, in their dinners, in town, to talk about the economy, those who have arrived in the private sector, train their friends who work for 10 times less in the public, by educating them through the figures and organizations of large groups.
This is why in France our multiple codes, incomprehensible, are reserved for those who are equipped to manage them.
The "
big ones
".
The death of SMEs, traders, self-employed?
We do not care " !
Small businesses have been sacrificed for mass distribution for 40 years, because they promised jobs and growth.
40 years later, after having contributed to decimating city centers (with the complicity of the Mayors and paid parking), decimating our SMIs / SMEs, and sending our jobs to China, some still dare to advertise low prices , this low price which annihilated the margins of the "
small
", who could no longer follow, and caused us to lose so many industries and jobs.
With the blessing of politicians and the media, who always invite the same Breton boss, to tell the opposite of what is happening in his purchasing centers ... Everything is not negative, some have managed to keep an attachment to the territories, but these are not the ones we interview.
The (La) Covid (who had time to ask the question of the sex of angels during this crisis?) Confirmed the slogan: The death of SMEs, traders, self-employed?
We “don't
care
”!

During containment, the
small
trader will be closed.
That's it!
We finally confessed and spat the song.
It is
not essential
.
It only represents his life or that of the couple who runs the business.
The disappearance of a couple of traders?
It doesn't matter.
Meanwhile, mass distribution is
essential
.
It must remain open.
The consumer who piles up in the few stores still open, escapes, by a still unexplained scientific phenomenon, the virus, which, lurking in the shadows, is waiting to hit the 2 customers, who will enter a small business.
DIY remains open.
Not the decoration.
Someone to explain the difference to me?
Franck Provost, who armed with a CAP, spends his life at nearly 70, growing his group which employs 25,000 people.
It will lose thousands of trade shows and jobs.
Why?
The hairdresser, the small one, sometimes armed with 2 armchairs, is
not essential
.
It could receive 1 customer at a time, instead of 2. But no, it will be closed and will not even be able to go shopping in the middle of the bottled shelves of supermarkets.
Why?
He will be at the Tribunal, to announce his liquidation.
No stimulus package will be able to save him, he will die of the appalling incoherent, constantly changing management of a Government which offers us one of the 10 worst results in the world.
This shopkeeper, met yesterday, is going to sit down on 60K € of merchandise and go into liquidation.
A life ruined in 24 hours.
Sports Clubs?
18 million passages since July.
200 contaminations attributed to their activity, no hospitalization, no death on the hands.
Closed!
Not essential
.
2/3 of franchisees, former employees who put all their savings and got into debt to start their club still have 15 days of cash on average.
They will die because they are
not essential
.
The practice of sport increases the immune system, but is
not essential
.
Are we announcing a bonus of € 10,000?
What a shame.
What contempt and ignorance on the part of politicians who do not understand
small
business, the one which, unlike that of Bashung, is going to know the crisis well and succumb to it.
This shopkeeper, met yesterday, is going to sit down on 60K € of merchandise and go into liquidation.

The mortality curves (INSEE) are the same in France as in 2018. Lower even in 2020 than in 2018 (March).
In a few years, those who study the curves will hardly see the impact of the Covid on mortality.
On the other hand, we will see the immense fall of the
small ones
, the
non-essentials
, who will have been sacrificed to preserve the policies of the popular retribution.
