    Voting for everything and anthing isn’t always a good idea. The value of each vote is linked to how knowledgable the person voting is in regards to the subject they are voting on.

    The whole retirement age situation could probably have been handled better, but in the end, if the pension fund runs out of money, it runs out of money. It’s a 0 sum game. You either:

    • raise the retirement age
    • pay out smaller retirements
    • collect more taxes

    Either way, people will be unhapy lol

      I’m afraid if we don’t change the whole system, we’ll experience all three points, and not only in France.
