I wouldn’t say he’s rich, I’ve personally seen him jerking of punks for $15 a man beneath the Granville Bridge

I don't know if that's necessarily true though. A report by the government's own Pension Advisory Council showed that with zero changes to the status quo, the system is expected to temporarily run deficits for the next decade but then return to breaking even going forward after that. And the pensions cost as a % of GDP is expected to remain steady into the future.

Based on the coverage, you'd think the pension system was on the brink of insolvency. But they're only projecting deficits of about €11M at the peak, which isn't particularly high for a €350B program given that they're expected to be temporary. And when the French government is simultaneously cutting corporate taxes and boosting military spending, people are going to react.

I thought Cali was a teacher, or something. Maybe I'm wrong. Wouldn't exactly marry that thought to piles of money.

My credit rating would strongly disagree with at least one of those adjectives.

Sir, he’s a professor of spineology or something. Put some respect on his name.

To be fair, you can have a great credit rating while making bugger all for income.

I didn't hear you complaining, but I'm also not one to kink shame those who like to watch.

If you want, you can also make the opposite of bugger all for income and have a crap credit rating

Enough about those French peasants, let’s talk about my six figure salary, millions in retirement savings and my kick ass credit score. Now if you’ll excuse me, it’s a 2 hour drive to my place in the Hamptons.

No, he’s saying he’s rich but has a bad credit score.

If the French people protesting get exactly what they want it will be interesting to see what the consequences of that are.
