@37712 For additional context about those "special powers", the Senate voted against the reform but Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne used Article 49 subsection 3 to circumvent the vote.

This particular article allows the government to force their bill into application without a parliament vote. It's part of the 5th Republic so it's legal for the Administration to use (in the case of Borne that's her 11th 49:3) but there is one caveat: if a motion of no-confidence is voted, she gets vetoed.

@37712 For the most part people are pissed but I haven't seen anything remotely threatening taking place.

I've heard stories of molotov cocktails and projectiles being thrown at Law Enforcement but I haven't found any videos of it.

All in all, we're just starting the weekend so I expect protests to get bigger. As for their "peaceful" nature I did see garbage on fire bu who gives a shit. The meat and potatoes is to see how far the people are willing to escalate violence.

@basedbagel Unless you want a safety net or allocate more functions to the government beyond its regalian functions, I second your point.

@greentext My brother needed paper to print his lessons.

I looked into my closets and eventually found some. I then had the sudden urge to reorganize the drawers that evening. The next day, I completely cleaned my room and gained whole square meters of space.

Sometimes the brain just does it.

When comes the Times to rebuild from the ashes left from the desolate progressive lands, I would pay for a rewritten version of "Never Again" by Disturbed to become our new Hymn. This song slaps: https://inv.riverside.rocks/watch?v=JG5BYYYE2CE

@37712 I didn't take the boosters.

Again, in my mind, it was either guaranteed slavery or risking it to accomplish my plan.

In retrospect, it sure af didn't work out as I thought it would have fortunately.

However don't put me in the lot that took it because "Trust the Science". I knew damn well what I was getting into and decided I'd much rather take my chances if it means I won't be stuck in this God forsaken country while they unveil their plan for Serfdom 2.0

@37712 My calculus at the time was that the World would not allow travel without a covid passport. I wasn't gonna stay in France under that rule knowing you'll have to update this with monthly boosters.

So I took the first 2 shots and hurried on my plan to move out to Switzerland. Flash forward, I'm still in France, became a mudblood and there is no worldwide covid passport and even the US is conceding the origins of the Wuhan Flu.

A bad call was made.

Nvm I just had a tenacious stool but it got out. I'm not clinically constipated and won't be able to sue Big Pharma for induced bowel slowdowns...

The silver lining is my body is fine, and I feel relieved.
