On France riots…
The French have brought this on themselves. Do you see what happens when you raise people in a nation of entitlement? People think they have a right to a job. People don’t have a right to a job. People have a right to compete for a job. It’s a very different thing. Young french kids are living in a dreamworld. Don’t get me wrong. I love the place. Paris has to be one of the best cities on earth. But, this degree of socialism is not the right model for the modern world. Employers by nature are more capitalistic than others surrounding them in a socialist environment. Demonstrate value to them which translates into better business and more often than not you will have job security. This isn’t to say that every young employee who is valuable will not be fired. Some could very well be fired for reasons which have nothing to do with their contribution. Yes, no system is perfect but the French model of “job for life” is about the furthest from perfect that one can get. The French government is (finally) beginning to figure this out but now is the time to see if they have the backbone to back it up. My guess is that they will capitulate.
