  getting fucking HIRED. The left has FINALLY tried to pass a bill here to let companies fire people a little. Many yelled, but in soviet france, it has been a real issue, and the right/sarkozy did not manage to change something about it. It's sad, because this is the #1 cause of unemployment here, it's the total opposite of the US. The minimum wage is also a big issue which adds up to the fact companies almost cannot fire people. That means companies are too much careful and cannot hire without being the employee will not drag everyone down. It boils down to companies hiring only people they trust, e.g. the friends of employees or their relatives. It's weird, because for some time now, since 2004 or something, I have been so much interested and obsessed into the american culture in general, without really thinking about working there, or going to canada. I love the US and its issues, since the 2008 crisis I've been fascinated by how an economy works. "best place in the world" oh boy, well I won't argue with this, but when you live a developed country, wherever you go, there's nothing to work on, because of human nature, and you can't say shit about it. You either wait for some global conflict to make leaders and big owners react to the problem or force them to, which is really stupid to wish a thing like war, or watch terrorism happen and say "not surprising". You can also wait for the older generation to die out to leave room, but in the end it's just biology.
