Une Nation des Clochards

France is a nation of bums, in my Humble opinion. Young adults in France have a 22% unemployment rate, which is about the same as the U.S. unemplyment rate during the Great Depression! The French government is attempting to lower some of the barriers that employers face, including a new law that would allow emplyees under the age of 26 to be fired for any reason. Instead of applying for a job, these kids thought it better to émeute (riot), which involved setting cars on fire and beating random pedestrians. There is a reason that France and other European Union countries have such poor economic growth and standards of living. I hope the French government has the fortitude to continue this path of reform, and not cave due to these protests.
