"But when you have no entrepreneurial community and the few that you have are publicly screaming at you to slack off"
Please stop furthering the myth that Europe has no startup scene.
"Here's hoping the French will have a chance to adjust before they destroy what little is left of their startup economy."
I'm not sure anyone knows how this will be implemented yet. Just like US startups are incorporated in Delaware, European startups can, and some are, be incorporated in countries like Luxembourg or the UK. That's just one example how things could work in practice. I think (at least part of) the French startup community is doing themselves a huge disservice at the moment. Drawing premature conclusions and throwing in gripes for good measure.
