The French Response
As the French strike again, I thought of commenting on this, just for fun.
That the French strike about just anything is not surprising to anyone. However, I cannot resist the temptation to comment on this year's #1 strike against raising the retirement age from 65 to 67 (or 60 to 62 for early retirement). Actually, when thinking about this more in depth, the French response to this legislative change is awesome!
Imagine strikes, walking in fresh air, no gasoline means less traffic and less pollutants, and running from the police (what an exercise!). No electricity means getting more sleep. Also, striking means less work, less stress, less of the harmful sitting in one's office. (Let's forget about the trash piling up in the picturesque streets).
This all leads me to conclude that the French in fact are not just striking, they are collectively raising their life expectancy!
What an idea! The French are smart in giving their evil government the right response. 'You raise our retirement age? We live longer!'
I wish I was French... ;)
