The French are at it again. Taking to the streets to raise hell in a greater attempt to show the world that no one can stop them from sucking on a whole new global level.
This time it’s over a labor laws designed to keep France from further slipping into the abyss of irrelevance. Before this was law was passed, after six months of employment any employee was guaranteed employment for life unless convicted of a crime, or fraud against the company.
So of course, firing them because they completely suck at the job is out of the question.
The result of this bullshit socialism? Unemployment of over 25% for young workers. That and a complete lack of any innovation in all of France.
In an attempt to actually make French companies relevant, the government would allow workers under 26 to be fired for no reason. You know, like pretty much every other job on planet earth.
This is no shock to anyone who has visited France. At any one given time someone rioting over their protected jobs with seven weeks of vacation, or enacting racial violence on muslims when they forget how European and sophisticated they are supposed to act.
How retarded are the French? Just how programmed for failure are they?
Think of it this way. When the wall in Germany fell, the Germans faced a 45% unemployment rate. In less than one decade, they managed to reduce theirs to below France’s unemployment rate and achieve greater financial growth.
Maybe we should have let the Germans keep France.

While France has once again given us another reason to snicker, there is a more serious point that the American media seems to be missing related to this issue. The merit of the law itself are almost impossible to debate. A quarter of twenty-somethings in France are already unemployed, so what nirvana are they clinging to by opposing this law? The way the law was passed (without debate in the assembly nationale) was a procedural party foul, and again not really the point of the protestors.
The really serious point here, is that this law is among the first serious steps taken to address the voiture-holocaust which ripped France earlier this fall. Background: the riots, in which thousands of cars were burned, were conducted by immigrants (read – minorities) who are frustrated that officially they have the same rights as everyone else in France, but in reality they don’t have the same opportunities. By rejecting this law, France is declaring itself unable to support this half measure to address this long brewing crisis.
The Fall riots were a chance for France to wake up and smell the coffee, and address this furious non-white French underclass. While I will be as happy as everyone else when Luxembourg invades France, I am really worried about what the future holds. Unless France has the courage (lol)to address this issue, I really worry about the cocktail that will be created when you mix French racism (ala Front Nationale / the Le Pen family), fanatical Muslims anti Danish cartoon rioters, with pissed off citroen burners.
