How stupid are the French?
"At least 17 of France's 84 universities are on strike to protest a new work contract designed to encourage employers to hire the young, but allowing the new hires to be fired at any moment in the first two years."

I mean really, they are rioting because, if they actually get a job, they might have to actually work to keep it (but only for two years). Boo-hoo!! I don't understand why they would prefer to deal with unemployment rates that hover around 50%. I guess they have better social programs than the US.
What do you say to that?
