Pension Reform

🇫🇷 The French are known for their revolutionary tactics. Les Misérables is probably the best known cultural reference of this phenomenon. The current situation in France is more like the sequel to Wes Anderson's, The French Dispatch, except it's not cute. While people are starving to death, have no jobs, have no money, and face severely repressive, authoritarian regimes in other parts of the world, the French are rioting over a simple pension reform that still allows them to retire earlier than most countries in the EU. Retirement is a privilege the majority of the world doesn't even have.
