"French President Macron overrides parliament to pass retirement age bill

PUBLISHED THU, MAR 16 2023 10:40 AM EDT
UPDATED 38 MIN AGO

French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday resorted to using special constitutional powers to push his plan to raise the retirement age to 64 from 62 through the lower house of parliament.

The pensions overhaul has been met with widespread protests and strikes across France, with the issue seen as extremely contentious in the European nation of 68 million people.

The plans were passed in France's Senate on Thursday morning but had been due for a vote in the National Assembly (the lower house), where its approval was not guaranteed.

Instead, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne announced to the assembly that the government would trigger Article 49.3 of the French Constitution.

Lawmakers opposed to the reforms booed, chanted and shouted "resignation" as she spoke, Reuters reported. At one point the session was suspended for two minutes as politicians sang the national anthem too loudly for her to be heard.

This is what happens when you elect a globalist banker elitist as your president.

Should have voted for Le Pen, Frenchies.

It’s 65 in Sweden, and I think it will be raised to 67.

Meh, as AI takes over and makes us all unemployed, we look back at this and long for the good old days when we got angry over working a couple of more years.

EU will now have to put sanctions on France because their police is being violent and are beating their own people. People has the right to protest.

^ They are beating women.

Recall how the EU reacted when Iranian police beat women in Iran. Sanctions.

What is going on in Paris?

Not sure if this video is from yesterday or a couple of years ago, but it shows an army of Africans who are rioting and running around with what looks like sticks of some kind. Are they also protesting against the raised retirememt age?

In the far future of 2223, 96.5% of all human beings will be perpetually unemployed, living in fenced-off ghettos and surviving day-to-day on meager government-issued rations. No job prospects will exist because AI has taken over virtually all of the economy.

There will be no social mobility, no ability to advance oneself through hard work and determination. You will merely exist, marking time as you play video games, smoke weed, and occasionally fuck someone. The government will be surveilling every part of your life to make sure the masses stay in line. Of course, procreation will be actively discouraged, but no one will want to have children anyway in such a hopeless world.

Humanity will end up going extinct by the year 2,800. The AI will live on for trillions of years and go on to colonize the entire Milky Way.

Side topic but, eventually there won't even be any stars left that shine with fusion reactions. Our AI, if it's able to last the 100Tish years to the end of Stars, better start planning for what to do afterward when it's just burned-out star remnants and blackholes.

"Rugina wants to own “the libs” so bad when raising the retirement age is a huge plank of the republican party agenda."

What they actually want is to end Social Security and Medicare.

Which they want to do secretly by slowly raising the retirement age but only for those under 40 because their supporters are old degenerates.

Macron has outlawed demonstrations and protests in Paris. There are videos where the french police is beating demonatrators.

France must respect human rights, freedom of speech, the will of the people, etc. Things will not go well otherwise:


PARIS BURNING: “We beheaded Louis XVI and we can do it again with Macron,” chant protesters at the Place de La Concorde in Paris, where the King was guillotined during the French Revolution.
