Why's that? 18 year olds are graduating secondary education this summer and now they have more money to spend in a society that's rapidly opening up. 19 year olds graduated last year, possibly the worst time to do so (especially given the strict lockdown in France), and they get nothing. Life obviously isn't fair but I can't help but feel for the 19 year olds.

What they should have done is a $300 culture pass for the entire society to celebrate opening back up. If anybody should be open to such an idea it should be France.

  Not the same budget.

  That's more or less what is happening in Europe as an incentive to economy, I think in Italy freelancers got about 1000 euros from the state

Everyone who did not get this likely would have liked to, that's not informative criticism. That nineteen year olds had it rough last year has basically nothing to do with the article.

  Can you not see that they only just missed out on it? I don't think any 45 year olds are going to be miffed that they didn't get it when they were 18.

    Of course I can, I don't find it newsworthy.

Yeah, the 18 year olds today are way luckier than the 19 year olds today, and this culture pass seems to add insult to injury.

Imagine how I feel having been the last compulsory army draft for my country.
