  Well that's France, a country with arguably most fucked up mentality of citizens in the world, at least in some sense(s). Just look at many news coming from there for last 20 years related to farm subsidizing, or people demanding more money out of thin air while in the same time wanting even more social state, and of course higher pensions too. I presume somebody skipped the math class in primary school. If you don't like reality? Normal person would look at option on howto improve one's situation. Maybe work harder (anybody can work more than 35h/week, while having 7-10 weeks of paid vacation per year), learn something new, move abroad if you really don't like it there. Well, french go out, burn some cars, destroy historical monuments, block rest of the country or take them hostage in some other way and government will for sure cave in. I am not impressed, to be polite.
