Macron is in trouble over this move. [Travellers heading to and from France face five days of chaos due to a general strike across the country. French public sector workers began the walkouts on Thursday over French President Emmanuel Macron's plans to reform the nation's pension system. Flights, trains and buses are being hit by the biggest wave of industrial action the country has faced for decades.] |

lmao we're always on strike, so it's not like it's anything unusual to us.
Yellow vests, lawyers, students etc etc etc You name it, it's on strike. Today almost no train or public transport worked in the whole country. I had to work from home and let it watch burn. I'm not even watching the news because this is ridiculous. And I could not care less about the reform, it's not a bad one actually. Let them eat cake! |

Yes arista...we have more poor everyone... The PM today said he would block strikes on public transport. So that's workers rights tampered with post brexit.

Nobody goes on strike for fun.. It's for safety, pay or conditions. That is perfectly legitimate no matter what sector you're in.

Not funny at all, if safety is compromised then it should be expected.. they have PUBLIC safety to think about.

He did not ignore the yellow vests wtf
He gave away a lot to ease the situation. If it were up to me I would not have given them a penny! But whatever, France right now is showing that you can solve everything with violence. So let those lazy asses destroy the country, elect that extreme right party leader Marine Le Pen so she can turn herself into a monster even more. London take me back! (oh wait, y'all are in trouble too lol) |

At least they don't block roundabouts anymore, and they are less and less to show up every saturday. Since they agree with the violence that happened, they should be treated as such.
And they always want more and they don't care about the financial repercussions. They are spoilt and greedy, end of the story. Now that doesn't mean some of their motives are not right, but everybody is facing struggles in their daily lifes. We should take care of the people in difficult situations, but not people who want to sit around and do nothing and be paid for it. They're a bunch of cowards who waited until a younger president was elected not even two years ago so they can take all of their anger towards him. They would have never had the guts to do it with Sarkozy or Hollande. And that's a weak move for that. Macron is not responsible for the previous presidents' mistakes. Anyway, Macron is showing those rats that he's much stronger than that. He won't back down and that's a good thing. About the pensions reform, basically it's saying that your pension won't be based on your best 25 years of your career anymore, but on your whole career instead. So now people are rioting because pretty much they realize they can't sit around all day and work from time to time to get a decent pension. Get out of here! They are lazy and dumb (they can't even make right calculation based on the formula provided by the government, what a bunch of idiots) |

I feel very bad for all the shops that must close around Christmas and see their revenue crushed because of it. This is the second year in a row, and many shops have closed or hardly survive. Christmas is usually a strong period for them, but now they are struggling because people don't go into city centres anymore. All profit goes to Amazon obviously, since people can't go do their Christmas shopping in shops. And ironically enough, the yellow vests and rioters want to evict Amazon so local shops can generate more jobs. I can't. |
