the french don't like to work


trying to increase the retirement age from 62 to 64 and all hell break loose.

reply

What have you got against the French? Would you like to lose two years of your life?

reply

they can no longer afford these generous social programs

reply

That's BS. They can't afford whatever they can get away with stealing from people. In an era of massive widening inequality, that is just total BS.

reply

Yes they can, it's the immigrants they can't afford!

They are all on or all off. Bundles of efficiency and energy at work. Huge lunch breaks and loooong vacations. They are the second most efficient workers worldwide, right behind Japan.

reply

Curious about your source for this claim and how “most efficient” is calculated. Any link I can read because I find it hard to believe

reply

workers in europe are always on strike for something or another. this just doesn't happen in the usa or canada.

reply

I didn't know that most people LIKE to work. Welp, you learn something new every day!

It is ridiculous.
He is microscopically reforming the pensionable age, not giving them prison years.
What a nation of lazy ungrateful assholes.
They look pathetic from any other country.

BTW, pensions should be cancelled altogether, or privatized, they are unsustainable with our current birth rate.

Canada is 65, the rest of EU is over 62.
Their French nationalism isolates them from the rest of Europe. English is a second language elsewhere, France and Quebec hate that and restrict it by law.

english can fuck itself in its ass. Or is it arse?
What a beautiful language....

The French invented motion pictures, since this is a sight for people who chat about movies, imma give them a break. They also invented the bikini , some really fantastic cheeses, cognac and French kissing. All awesome stuff I love, they just made a mistake flooding their kick ass country with Muslims.
