Come live in France.
You get a little bit of welfare, enough for rent and food. Highly recommended.

I read that to the tune of Mambo No 5

You get a bit of welfare, 'nuf for rent 🎵 A little bit of food, I recommend 🎶 A little bit of health care, for your life 🎵 And a little bit of family time, for your wife 🎶

Go on...

And the bi-annual mass protest!
-
You also get:
- a population with an increasingly large number of older people
-a relatively higher tax rate
-a pension program which is unsustainable needing a new retirement age of 65 to 67
-A country where mid career change is difficult
-stratospheric chronic unemployment rate
-a lifetime-employment system which translates to a large permanently-jobless population that's just generally pissed
-and employment being somewhat elite
-
Not much of this is unique to France
-
Do you mind citing some sources? Much appreciated!
