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 Most people are not willing to do that. They wake up in their thirties realizing they will be slaves for the rest of their lives and, worst of all, if you managed to free yourself from the system, they will resent you and call you an egoist.
