The French have a social contract between generations, and workers actually pay pensions from their salary into a separate fund - ie not as PAYG.

So why are they angry? They don’t put with shit.

You gotta remember that 220 years ago they introduced democracy by overthrowing and guillotining their whole ruling class.

I realize your meant to say they introduced democracy to France, because democracy as a concept existed long before France was a country.

It's not democracy unless it's from the democratique region of France, otherwise it's just sparkling voting.
