The French may not have the first democracy, may not have the best democracy, but they have had to fight harder than most for their democracy.

  • paraphrasing from an audio tour by Rick Steves, I think.

I don’t see Americans unionising and making a noise about rising pension ages

Unionization is on the rise and they've been more active than at any point in my life. There have been several large strikes in the last couple years alone. What are you talking about?

Let’s be real here: the French have no chill when it comes to the pension, but its nice to see some change in the US.
