    If only Americans protested like the French, we’d be in such a better place. Politicians would actually work for us, I hope they win continued access to gender affirming care!

      Damn right. They take away Union benefits from one worker the rest of them shut down the Country!

      In USA they fire half the staff, double the workload for no extra pay for the remaining and they think “at least I still have my job…”

        Yeah, that mentality of ‘at least I still have my job’ with the added cost of work/life imbalance and stress is wild to me! Corporations shouldn’t have so much power as their staff are the ones bringing in the profits. Sane business models can be profitable, respecting their staff’s time and effort. I can only hope more people wake up and unionize! As there have been victories here that should blaze a path.

      I mean the recent university protests in the US are a good first step. To socially normalize protesting there is no other way than just doing more protesting.
