    a planned 1.6% increase in the minimum wage would be brought forward from January to December

    Making a planned increase happen a month earlier is so much worse than the headline implies.

    The increase fell well short of the demands of unions, which have called for fresh protests in the coming days

    Well duh.

      It’s worse then that. In France, the minimum wage gets automatically adjusted for inflation every January, that’s where the 1.6% comes from.

      His suggestion would be simply making this adjustment happen in December rather than January.

    Why aren’t thet subsidizing solar panels & reducing electricity bills by 40% ? Distribute MREs to the citizens. Work with pharmaceutical companies to drop pill prices by 20%.

    Make some actual changes.
