Think critically for a moment about how it came to be that you were able to parrot the talking point about the percentage of unemployed youth in France but are seemingly unaware that employers are free to fire new workers during multi-month trial/probation periods or why the living standard of the one-fifth of French youth who are unemployed at any given moment is higher than that enjoyed by fully-employed people in the same age group in developed countries where employees have far weaker protections.
It's sad that it's so easy for the proverbial one percenters to get everyone else, who should know better, on board with their agenda.
