French Strikes: A Stupid American’s Take November 20, 2007

I was listening to the radio this morning and it sounded to me like France is having an impromptu vacation today. So 1/2 the country is on strike! What’s with this going on strike for one day crap? If you are going to strike then strike until you receive justice or your union runs out of cash! And no public transportation because those lazy French don’t want to work a couple more years for their pension? Sounds like Mr. Sarkozy is bringing out the best in people over there. I’m planning on working until I’m about 80, die then meet my maker. God knows there is no retirement to speak of here. It’s either that or start stocking up on canned dog food for my “retirement” (I don’t have a dog).
Meanwhile, we are on the verge of cultural collapse over here. The writer’s strike in LA and the stage hand strike in NYC is crippling this country!! Basically I get no Daily Show or Letterman and forget about seeing Wicked!!! The rumor is the networks are going to start producing more bad reality shows. It’s like Armageddon over here!!
