I had to say it. They are actually protesting. Maybe they should do something about finding a job rather than protesting against reasonable labor laws.
I'm betting on the Gallic economic death spiral.
Students and union members joined together on Tuesday in nationwide strikes that disrupted airline, train and bus services and sent thousands of demonstrators into cities across France.They were protesting a labor law set to take effect next month that would allow companies to fire employees under 26 without reason within the first two years on the job. Opponents of the measure say the new law will destroy France’s longstanding workplace protections and cause havoc with the nation's culture and lifestyle.
Where do we expect this to all lead?

I read a quote from one of the students who said something like, "Under this law we'll have to do every little thing they tell us to or we could get fired."
After I stopped laughing, I realized how sad it is that this poor unfortunate could survive only in France. Let's be honest, you pick up your average working stiff, drop them into any marginally civilized country on the planet and they'll do just fine. Take your average French worker and drop them any where else and they'll sink like a stone.
