French Roast

While I enjoy the popular uprising in general, I think the French protests and subsequent government cave-in over the jobs law shows a tragic shortsightedness. I don't think allowing employers the option to fire someone under 26 years old is a bad idea. They're slowly going to become more and more marginalized by their inability to complete, which is a result of their bloated welfare state. They have a stagnating economy, rising xenophobia and racism, and an inability to make hard decisions about the future of their country.
