Deep cultural kimchee

Know-nothing college punks (with a little help from their friends) continue to protest a common sense youth job-creation measure.

«Nicolas Boudot, a local educational authority administrator, said about 300 people had entered the Sorbonne on Friday by breaking windows and not all of them were students.

The protesters, he said, were trying to turn the Sorbonne into a battlefield for fighting social woes.»
A real winner - right from jump street.
«In '68, the students when they left university, they found work»
...and without all those onerous employment contract conditions or measures that blew the head gasket off the economic engine that make just about every sort of talent unhirable.

There were also quite a few more people in their age bracket in 1968. So what began with the likes of these Mr. Wizard types later trying to thin the herd of this generation anyway ends with making sure nobody can actually make a living or sustain a functioning economy for ideological reasons, of course.

They have, after all, more important things to worry about.
