This France situation confuses me.
1. Why are young people rioting over pension reform that doesn't even affect them yet.
2. How does raising the retirement age from 62 to 64 even make that big of a difference?
3. Did any of these people stop and think that maybe the retirement age was raised because they couldn't AFFORD it?
This seems like a low IQ riot to me.
@basedbagel
1 : because France, I don't think the young even know what they are rioting about.
2 : it does make a bit of a difference, French people do not save money for retirement, they are wholly dependent on governement in their old age.
3 : nobody is thinking straight. Everyone want more welfare and less taxes.
@Lorgar "French people do not save money for retirement"
Please tell me you're exaggerating.
Because if what you're saying is true that's INSANE.
@basedbagel Some people will capitalize a little bit (myself included of course) but in order to do that I had to put a third of my income living with the bare minimum for 10 years (between 20 and 30 years old) in order to achieve it. Thanks to that I have been able to untie myself from what can only be described as a giant spiderweb.
