Or that normal people then prefer driving their car than taking the train. And you know what? Anyone who can paralyze the country should strike, just because. Train drivers? Airport personnel? Truck drivers? Hey! If you can freeze the economy, go for it! The number of people I know, who have a car just because they need a solution when people strike…

minus-squareSebaDC@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 hours agoLol. Being born in France, I know a few things about strikes 🤣 I also understand that they are a sign and a reason for the current social climate in the country. Some strikes are meaningful. Most are just ridiculous.
