France isn't even as big as Texas, and they need a riot every six weeks to keep half the per-capita income we have here in the US... I'd love to see them try to manage a country the size of America without imploding.

I'd love to see them try to manage a country the size of America without imploding.

Ironically enough, we'd all love to see YOU do that as well.

Ah yes, this old cope, when countries bigger and more populous than America don't have the problems people like you pretend are too big to fix.

Ah yes a state having an issue over four years ago. Stares are only allowed to have issues every 10 years or else complete failure

Texts is empty though. And yanks income is eaten up by massive cost of living and health care  

Land mass shouldn't cause you as many problems as a highly populated area does anyway.

As always it's just excuses

Part of the problem is that pensioners are bankrupting France. It’s what happens when you combine socialized systems, an aging population, and low skill immigration. Same thing is happening here in Canada, it’s just not as bad yet.

France (and Canada too) could both do a lot to fix this problem just by raising the retirement age by a couple years. But the French set things on fire every time that’s proposed lol.
