    French have been our homes since Day 0. Always got solidarity for our brothers in democracy over there. They got way more spice and fight than we do.

          Unionization is on the rise and they’ve been more active than at any point in my life. There have been several large strikes in the last couple years alone. What are you talking about?

            Let’s be real here: the French have no chill when it comes to the pension, but its nice to see some change in the US.
