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.
If you were french, you'd know that hospitals are not free, you must pay every month a healthcare insurance for that.
University is also not free, fees are low ok but french universities are very low too...
