France on strike again
Only agree partly with your statement B738DRIVER.
Its an outrage to see that only the very best paid civil servants are always going on strike being railway employees and ATC.
Am living here for a good 12 years and many of my flights and train trips have been spoiled by strikes. Furthermore, check the retirement ages of these both groups!
Regarding the social walfare system I do agree with you but don't trust the financial bookkeeping system here. Something is wrong when looking at the expenses versus countries income
