The demands of the gilet jaunes are just a joke.
I am french, i lived there for 28 years before leaving tired of the attitude french have about working / money.
They (we) want more while doing less.
Number 10 :
Let's sum up.
You are born, you don't pay for the hospital.
Then you go to school for 25 years for free (your parent don't pay, you have no student loan either).
Then you work for 40 years (age 65) and earn 1300 euros per months. Obviously you don't pay for hospital, you dont pay for schooling of your children either.
Then, because you worked for 40 years you want to have for the next 25 / 30 years (until your death) 1200 euros per month (almost as much as what you were earning) paid by the government while not paying for your very expensive end of life medical treatment.
In which world do we live ?
That list of 42 demands is just the proof that the gilet jaunes are living in a pink world where money grow on tree.
I do however agree with many points( 2 / 3/4/6 !!!!/ 11 !!!/ 15/ 21/ 34 ......) , but come-on ! let's be reasonable.
Money did grow on trees but now it grows on 1s and 0s. People want to build the skills they need to work until they are no longer working age and then want to survive their later years with at least basic dignity while seeing their children do the same or better. Its not free loading because they want to contribute work to society for most of their lives (40 years) and only want basic dignity back in return. That sounds like the goals of most everyone I've ever come across on this planet. What is wrong with any of that?
