Deeply unserious comment. France is one of the countries in which the system is the most distributive and the taxes the highest.

In France, the biggest hurdle is our pension system that stifles education, health, and infrastructure spending but even the electorate wants the boomers to earn more when they already get 110% of what working people do. Still the UK’s triple lock might make them more of a gerantocracy in the future. Also note that if you read the official statistics for pensions in Grance the ones by gov workers are counted towards the budget of said institution. So now 90% of new education spending is actually getting to boomers. 1/4 is already for them. 1/3 of military spending too etc

Please take your schizopopscislopbrained stuff out of the post. JNIM have been a thing for a decade and what is notable is that the US is speaking about the group for the first time when news about Africa are non-existent in media.
