Unreasoned

I guess Europe is still fighting for that welfare check:

Dominique de Villepin, the prime minister, has staked his reputation, and possibly his job, on a measure that aims to cut rampant youth unemployment with two-year contracts that enable employers to sidestep rigid French labour laws and fire them without reason.


No, it would allow employers to judge the reason. While it may have the side effect of allowing unreasoned employers to fire people without reason, unreasoned employers have plenty of problems of their own and won't be employing people for very long in any case.

Your missing the best part of the story. The students are protesting because they don't want "anglo-saxon" economics. They want guaranteed job with high benefits where it's almost impossible to be fired. They're so damn stupid they don't realize that's what's caused the situation that's prevented them from getting jobs at all are these strict rules.

In fact, it's hilarious to see them oppose "anglo-saxon" economics, as if supply and demand work differently in France. Why not protest the laws of physics, too?
