Even if my head was stuffed full of croutons instead of brains I could figure out where this was going to take France.
Lesson learned, student protests continue now in France. In an apparent move by skinny students and other lazyists (also know as Les escargots) to capitalize (oh, bad word—make it “socialistize”) on their successful campaign to cause a French government retreat (also known as “French”), they now seek even further concessions.
Who knew all Hitler had to do was launch a major protest in France?
The French government (also know as saucisses feuilletees, which roughly translates into wieners wrapped in puff pastry) had flirted with the idea of taking some of the government’s job-killing regulations out of workplace, and bring France closer to the real world. In so doing, they had hoped to reduce the 25% unemployment rate among French youth. The students and left-wing groups were all against that. They prefer laziness with their Mouton Cadet.
But the new bill, which was introduced as a result of the scary protest-induced retreat, expands on several measures already in place, and increases the government’s role in the workplace instead of decreasing it. This is also known as successful Fabian socialism at work.
