They better not be protesting against ESG money!! That is a 'threat to democracy' and I think i'm going to use that tagline for a couple years. Vive la (peaceful) révolution Wouldn't Macron have to be sweating just a little? Time to dbl down on dogma with flames outside?

Just cut the retirement age to 50, then once the fund is out of money, tell the rest they can work until they die. All they would be doing is speeding up the process.

Heart goes out to the restaurant owner. 😞

Good

Lazy f*ckers - where’s the money coming from to pay your pension? they’ve taxed the big companies out of France in their greed for other people’s money and the consequence is that YOU are going to have to work a little longer and pay the tax to make up for it

Nobody protests as hard as the French.

Those poor French 🙄
