The French are acting like French
Yes, the French are surrendering again. This time to rioting youth who want lifetime job security. This is what you get when you make things like jobs a right instead of something to be earned.
Just look at the job system over there. If you want to fire someone, you need a paper trail a mile long and a major reason, like embezzling or other gross job misconduct. If you want to lay someone off because of a down turn of business, you can't. Your choice is to pay them three years severance pay, or park them in a corner and give them nothing to do, hoping they will quit from boredom. Which is why it's almost impossible to get a job, because once you're in, you're basically in for life.
Such is the Socialist Utopia called France.
