There is a massive protest in France today by college students. The reason? Someone wants to pass a law making it easier to fire them if they don't work out in the first two years of employment. Up until now if they can get a job it becomes almost impossible to get fired. The big "if" is because as many as 23% can't find work, as no one wants to hire them and risk getting saddled with a turkey they can't fire.
Give me a moment, and I'll see if I can summon a tear or two for my French brothers and sisters....
Nope. Sorry. I'm all dried up. France, you deserve yourself.
