Ryan this has to be one of your best videos ever. Bravo! I love how you have Incorporated the VHS tape player with you as the broadcaster and you responding to yourself. Brilliant my friend. Of course the political, financial and moral status of not just 🇫🇷 France, but the entire world, is shameful at best. 😢
Yes, Ryan this was really very well done. Love the use of my old tv! The reporter style documentary suits you well. Would love to see you do this again. 😊
I subscribe to a number of RUclips channels based in France and to my knowledge you are the only host who has had the courage to share the situation of what is going on politically and socially in your country. Bravo Ryan! Now, after exposing the raw and ugly truth of how the rioting and mayhem is affecting every innocent citizen to some degree, it is time to shore up your own family's business that depends on tourist trade. Re-read the comments here. Consider the many cautionary warnings to keep your family and yourself safe. Again, I applaud your truth and courage.
Thank you for not pretending like this is not going on. I'm in the US and our congress is not subject to normal retirement either and its not fair here in that way either. If they serve one term of 2 years you get pension for life! When no companies here offer pensions anymore; except maybe a few union jobs. AND they want to get rid of our retirement system while keeping their pensions. I know some vloggers think people watch their channel to escape and enjoy a relaxing different perspective on things. But I find it a disservice to viewers when they completely ignore highly visible and important goings on. How do things like this effect vloggers in France. Thank you! And you did it well in just presenting facts and sharing experiences.
Yes and the political candidates also get to keep ALL of the money they raise (in the millions of dollars) for their political campaigns even if they do not win the office. That goes from Dog Catcher all the way up to President and everything in between SMH.....
Retirement age is 65 here in Canada. We pay very high taxes as well. I understand the economics of it. Population is aging, and fewer people in the workforce contributing to the pension fund. BUT there has to be a vote! Last I heard, France was a democracy, not tyranny!! I hope this gets resolved soon!
No need for a vote, the government is paid to make these decisions, that is why you vote for a political party to take office. If they had to have a referendum for every law passed nothing would ever get done..
As a fellow Canadian, and with total respect, who would actually vote yes? Macron knows that the people will hate this, but isn't it better than no pension at all? There's nothing in it for him, and as rough as it may feel, it is probably the only reasonable decision.
Not just fewer people contributing to the pension fund but also fewer people doing the work that the older generations still require them to do.... There is a lack of workforce in many sectors all around Europe and nobody seems to understand that it is simple demography driving it.
I'm glad you touched on this, Ryan. I'm a US American and I agree with you on all points. Great video production, your use of the television set was brilliant. You sitting on Macron's head was perfectly symbolic!!
That’s not off the board. It’s part of the GOP budget plan along with cuts to SS, Medicare, VA benefits, Medicaid, ACA and other programs I’m forgetting. It hasn’t been presented to the House yet although it will most likely pass. Fortunately it won’t likely pass the Senate.
And for those without enough savings of their own for retirement will remain out of reach for years past the age of qualification for Social Security if one wants to avoid poverty conditions.
Yes here in the states they want to work us till we're dead or no good years left to enjoy a retirement if theres even any social security left its horrible but im sure the powers that be wont be affected they're all crooked anyway its pathetic
Great video Ryan. Balanced and informative. I’m Australian but lived in the UK for a number of years in my mid 20s. Loved to be able to visit France so easily and quickly. Amazing people and history so it’s heartbreaking to watch it be torn apart. The Australian retirement age has been incrementally increased over the years to age 67. Like all things it’s just a guide (eligibility to a pension). Some people retire earlier and some later. All working Australians have an individual (and mandatory) superannuation fund which can only be accessed when you retire. We also bristle every time this is tinkered with by the Government.
evening ryan………keep smiling the french have always been revolutionary…………..loads of strikes in uk too……….it’s worldwide discontent at the minute…….strange times😢
Strange times indeed! Our nation has high prices as well. The US has had such such awful riots! Maybe it’s the younger generation that just can’t take it, so they gather in rioting! Why take it out on the smaller business people, Dr.‘s, regular people trying to live, despite their nations crisis.
Unfortunately, it is always the everyday people that are made to suffer when the government wants more money, this is a worldwide problem. There is a certain element of people that look at these protests as an opportunity to steal and cause trouble, they are the underbelly of society. I support the people that are tired of being made to pay for all of the greedy politicians and their projects. Take care ,Ryan, I am happy that you are safe and I pray that your Mom and Dad continue to heal..
That is why he has the job where hard decision have to made. It is unfortunate that the people seeking to do violence are not the people who will be impacted in the near future. To have some one work to age 64 is not that out of the normal. So the question to the whole situation is why are the young people staging this? There could be plenty of time to rectify these laws. I find that people are just angry about everything and are blood thirsty and are doing this for sport.
@@janetpendlebury6808 He would be a dictator then, he decreed it through "Parliament" or whatever the French call it, without a vote (Or his agent did), he did say it was on his reform agenda prior to voting but realised that Parliament would vote him down, so he passed it through anyway, not a good sign!?!
Good to see the French still have a revolutionary spirit . It’s the way Macron has imposed it that incites the outrage . I remember the same outrage occurred over 10 yrs ago when the Govt there was raising the retirement age from 55 or 58 to 60 ! Most of the W world has reluctantly had to accept the delayed retirement age as an inevitable economic price citizens have to pay for the ageing population . Macron knows that France is prone to riots and extreme civil unrest when ANY lifestyle factors are threatened so the ultimate cost to shopkeepers, garbage, fuel, and transport has to rest at his door . The looters and exploiters are vile but any study of history shows they form a small percentage of the anger at the heart of protests such as this . The news highlights these extremes and avoids the core issues . When the French stop rioting for civil rights we know the rest of the world is in big trouble . What did Macron expect by acting in such an undemocratic unilateral fashion ..buck stops at his door .
It's sad that the protesters are using violence, looting and criminal damage to further their claims, or more likely people are carrying out these crimes under the disguise of protesting! The police's heavy handed approach to establishing law and order is unfortunately a common occurrence in Europe, but they will say it is commensurate to the violence directed towards them and they normally get away with that, but not always, the Euro finals Spring to mind in Paris!?!
In the US the retirement age was raised for my generation when I was a kid and had no vote. Nobody lifted a finger, not our parents or anyone. Not a protest. My parents could retire at 65, it'll be 67 for me. Bastards.
Thanks for being so kind as to give us such an even handed explanation of the situation. Your journalistic standards put many of the so-called professionals to shame. The TV as part of your report is a great way to make your points very clear. Excellent work Ryan!
Yes! Well done Ryan! You’re the first (probably only…) of the Franco-British vloggers I watch to mention the recent French political situation. I know that most of these are chateau renovators or farmhouse renovators but this story you are covering is so important. I am very sympathetic to the peaceful protests against Macron’s retirement reforms. I did not realise the range of strike actions being taken. In Britain we also have a range of strikes - and again I am very sympathetic. The cost of living crisis is hitting hard across many countries. And in Britain we are truly ‘led by donkeys’. Good for you covering this topic.
I have been following the developments in France the past weeks because of subscribing to your’s and your friends channels and vlogs. It is so much more than just the additional two years. The total number of years you have to pay in to the fund, and the underhanded way it was pushed through by the government is driving the anger too.
I saw this on our news in the USA! Most people retire at either 62, 65 or even 70 in our country Not saying You should in France and we don't have quite the tax burden. We have the same problem with Outsiders stirring up Real trouble in protests, they go city to city looting, damaging property too! Sorry this is happening. Thanks for showing the TRUTH behind what we are shown. Never heard about fuel shortage or trash problem. Prayers for all of you!
Creatively and objectively done, Ryan! So glad you live in the country, but your goods and services are truly affected. Factual news is seldom seen here on the approved broadcasts. I won't say more. You and yours are definitely in my prayers.
Having followed protests and other crazy things in France for a while now, I’m glad one of ‘my’ chateau channels is talking about this. And of course it happens to be you! Thanks!
What a horrible situation, but thank you for such a creative video and keeping us informed. I especially loved your sitting on the TV monitor while Monsieur Macron was talking.
Ryan, that was an excellent video, very well produced and cleverly stages with the old television set. Very well done! I do miss seeing you at the convent with Billy though.
Hi from Washington state. I'm sorry that you all are going through this. Thank you for your honest reporting of this situation. Be safe. Sending prayers of healing and health to your mum and dad.
Ryan this is where you excel. I always thought that your video work was professional; now I realize you have the ability to make one feel they are right there and experiencing the energy of the riot. This is your calling. Great work.
In England retirement age is 66 and there is talk of raising it again. I feel for people doing heavy physical jobs but don't agree with the violence. Let's hope we get living conditions sorted out fairly for everyone. Hope your mum and dad are ok Ryan . Look after each other.
I can understand the protesting from people set to retire in a year or two... but these are thugs running amuck! Fact is, more and more people are living into their 90's. The 70yo's would have likely already been long dead, had this been the same society, from 60 years ago. Some 70yo's, today, are more healthy than the average 50yo. The baby boomers have already sucked up a lot of the money paid into retirement, (likely mismanaged funds) and soon, there will be another rush of retirees. I understand the need to increase the retirement age but there SHOULD have been a VOTE and they could have given people a 3-5 year headsup before actually enacting the new law. This was a dirty move! Even worse, to punish and pis§ off the rest of the people by shutting down garbage removal and fuel supplies???! Who the F*ck does that?! 🧐
In Sweden they made a reform from 65 to 67-69 years for your pension. It is alright if you are working in offices, politicians etc… But not if you are working as postman, carpenter as a labour in general. Our politicians told us that if our body is worn down at 40/50 years we could always change what we work with. In Sweden if you are older than 50 it is nearly impossible to find another jobb. I believe we should have protestet peacefully, but… So I hope the french people win this battle. ❤
Thank you, Ryan, for bringing this to the attention of your subscribers. I watch two alternative networks that have been reporting on this. Mainstream media doesn't report the truth. I hope your subscribers appreciate what you have done here on your channel.
Hello from the SF Bay Area! Thank you for this inside look at the strikes, Ryan. It is so hard from California to really understand. I'm shocked Macron did this dastardly deed of not letting anyone know what he was going to do when elected. Your politicians are as corrupt as ours. So sad. Be well, best wishes to your Mum.
Wonderful Explanation Ryan, England did it without no Problem , Ireland 🇮🇪 you Retire at 65, get your Pension then, Unfortunately some People Die within that Year , This is Something I don’t understand 🤔
Thanks for presenting your view of what is going on in France. I have never understood riots such as those going on in France now. The protestors are acting like petulant children. Stay safe Ryan and make sure your family and friends stay safe.
@@juliewilliams1545 since their introduction pensions were always calculated to run out roughly when you were ready to turn up your toes. The life expectancy has been steadily increasing but pension age has not kept pace until quite recently. (In Australia, that is.) When I started work, the retirement age for a woman was 60 and 65 for men. Now it’s 67 for both. I retired at 72.
Ryan, I’ve been worried about your Mom based on the video where you told us she was stuck in the middle of this ! I’m so sorry for everyone who has been affected by this 😢 Thank you for the update ! Stay safe and continue to be the hard working, loving son and friend ❤
My heart breaks for young people- the generation above them has forgotten or does not care about the fact that the generation before them sacrificed so much in order to give them the freedoms and rights that people are so lucky to have today. They would be so disappointed in us and the way we demand our rights without considering the consequences, short or long term. With rights come responsibilities and it is time to take responsibility. When anarchy dominates we are all doomed. Thank you Ryan, great video this week, good unbiased journalism and compassionate observation. btw, Canada is messed up too, atm they seem to be hiding it well!
Good for you Ryan… it is like the elephant in the room when I watch all the blogs in France, just not discussed. Prayers for a clear path to settlement of issues.
It’s happening all over the world I’m afraid. In England you can’t retire till your 67. We have strikes here too. It’s just a really bad time for everyone. Stay safe.
Really well done Ryan. I appreciate the firsthand information as well as your very thoughtful opinions on what’s going on. Hope you and your family, especially your mum, are well. 🥰🌼
Ryan, I am very much that person that does not follow the news or anything really related to TV because I'm trying to keep all that negativity out of my life. I tend to take it in and hold it if I am exposed. Thank you so much for bringing the reality to life here. Are absolute best thoughts go with you because I know that this has to be very scary right now. You're in a good place but my thoughts are with your family and of course with you and with everybody who we've come to know and love in RUclips. Continue to keep us updated please, and by the way... Fabulous job on your editing work, that was absolutely stunning to watch and I am so proud of you. Massive sized hugs from Texas!
i dont do news either, but dont mind a little heads up with out the lengthy thing news is plus allllllllllllllll the sppppppppppporrrrrrrrrtsssssss and weaaaaaaathhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheerrrrrrrr reports. a video of my choice i can handle. Ryan tends to get goofy sometimes and with his clean cut in view, i decided to give it a go. well done ryan.
About time ordinary people stuck up for themselves (obviously I dont support vandalism or looting though- Its people like that that piggyback on legitimate protest that cause even more draconian crackdowns and make people support the curtailment of social rights and freedom)
We’ve had the retirement age creep up over the years here in Australia. In July we have our retirement age being lifted to 67. The truth is it allows broader spectrum of the population to contribute to the community for longer. On another note, I like your style and creativity with the videos. 😊
So glad to see you Ryan.. I have been hoping you are safe.. looks like you are at your parents house ..so so sorry for all of France’s troubles.. hoping it resolves soon..🤞🏼🙏🏼❤
That's so sad to hear these protestors are destroying innocent folks property. Sure hope your Mom is okay. Give her a hug from Independence, Virginia please. 💚🙏
Prayers being sent to your Mom. It’s good to know you are home. Stay safe and thank you for sharing; we are not being told much here in the US, as all of our news is about bank failures, massive weather storms and war in the Ukraine.
Wonderful editing Ryan absolutely loved that old TV effect. Hope your Mum & Dad are doing well. I was getting ready to send out a search party for you ;) Is everyone ready for the guests to come fishing? How will you get supplies in with all the strikes and no fuel? Farmers here have fuel tanks on their property, it they do the same in France you might be able to purchase a fill up from a neighbour for any health emergency.
Ryan, it's nice to get a true perspective from someone living through the troubles in France at the moment. All I know is that the French have more holidays than we do in the UK, and retire earlier than we can. (I retired aged 64, but my sister,6 years younger than me, has to wait till she is 67!) Pensioners are getting a raw deal. Thank you for shining the light on the problem. Stay safe, and all the best to your mum.
Thank you for this update & the clever production values. While this isn't good news, I'm glad you're OK! How is your mum doing now? Be safe - sending love & blessings to you & your lovely family
Thank you Ryan for for sharing what’s happening over there in French. I am also in the San Francisco Bay area and I understand how chaotic and reckless things can get due to social unrest and unfortunate outcomes. Here in the US it’s 67 years old before retirement. I remember the same happening right here in the bay area just a couple years ago. I wish your country the best possible outcome no matter how long it takes. It is time for change and everyone knows it.
Ryan, this was a wonderful thoughtful and thoughtout video. I learned a lot and feel bad that it is happening to France. Protests are one thing, but vandalism is unacceptable! This is happening in the United States and the vandals feel that they are owed the items that they steal. 😢
Thank you for sharing this information with us, Ryan. This is really horrifying. I hope things get better for you. Take care, and be safe. We all love you very much, Ryan.
Peaceful protests I can understand. Unfortunately there are those who take advantage of protests and start vandalizing properties. Here in the United States the age of retirement is 66. You can retire earlier but don’t get full benefits if you do. I hope you and your family stay safe and that your mum is ok. Love your channel.
When they f****d up the pension age in the U.K. my mum got caught up in it. The key issue is that people make their financial plans according to the information they have available. When the government (all politicians are evil turds, this is not party specific criticism) increase the pension age at short notice then those plans can fall apart. Mum ended up being forced to retire a year before she could claim her pension anyway because she was carrying for two family members with cancer and was exhausted. But she was lucky she could afford to do it. When these sorts of changes are made there has to be a longer lead in and better ways to build up pension pots/flexible end of career working. The loss of fit and healthy retired volunteer workers has crippled lots of sectors which previously relied heavily on them. There used to be lots retired in their fifties who would be on boards and making high powered decisions in volunteer positions and of course be full of energy and very able. But now we will be in our seventies and not only less able but also really tired. Yes health care has improved so more people are old, and that is ultimately why this is happening, but that doesn’t negate the fact that by our seventies many of us are really tired of working. Hope your mum makes it to hospital Ryan. We’ve had strikes, riots and fuel/food/medicine shortages in the U.K. in the last few years and it never gets nicer. The media always make it worse too by winding everyone up into a panic.
What can we say...it's far from our home country yet we will see more of these uprisings sooner than later. Did not know how expensive it is to live in France. Living here in Saskatchewan Canada and Canada as a whole we have many government issues but far less than in France. Perhaps the government there will rethink those decisions for the sake of the people and the country. Take care stay safe hoping and praying for better times soon.
Canadian as well.. maybe I don't know enough about the issue, but I can't believe Macron won't back down... you could offer something extra to those willing to stay in the workforce longer.. so those who cannot physically or mentally bring their A game and know it can retire.. we voted the government out that changed our retirement age to 67.. as a Canadian living in Alberta I am grateful to the rest of Canada for their wisdom.
Peaceful protests are great, BUT a lot of these destructive rioters are actually 'paid' groups, and are brought in from other countries in buses. Happens everywhere that peaceful protesting is happening. Here in Australia, the age pension has risen from 60 to 67. And heading for 70. We are highly taxed also. Good on the French for having a say!
Great video again Ryan ! Truly you have talent for delivering on an important topic with both balance and restraint. I loved how you used the old TV to illustrate your points. Clever ! My mom actually had the same TV back in the 1980’s 😂. You’re obviously not a “One Trick Pony” and I see why you’re such a treasured friend to Billy and the gang.
Stay safe everyone In France. I hope your mum gets well soon. Good little video, very informative. People are so stupid. What have they achieved.? Someone has to pay for all the damage. Which will put their taxes up. Stay safe Ryan.
Take care Ryan and stay safe. My retirement age based on my birth year in the U.S. is 66 and 4 mos. And we have had to worry about our social security benefits being reduced. Scary times.
I've been thinking of you, LaLande, my fave Pethericks (which is all of them!) while seeing the strikes. May all be well for your "adopted" country very very soon!
Oh my word - it is so unsettling to see this happening in France. Thank you for showing us what is real as the media coverage in NZ certainly doesn't explain all sides of the equation as you have. Stay safe, keep positive and I really do hope things settle down over there soon. Hope all is well with your dear mum and dad too.
As an American, I'm all for protesting, it's the violence, destruction of property & looting that is unacceptable. There's always some radical faction that behaves that way that ruins it for everyone else. FYI, cost of goods, electricity, food, has gone way up here. I saw an interview with the new Mayor of Los Angeles, California... they had over 60,000 people living on the streets because housing has gotten so expensive. She said many still have jobs, but can't afford a place to live. She has already found housing for a lot of people, & is working hard & fast to house the rest of them. I live in Florida. It used to be really affordable to live here, but not anymore. Our groceries cost has doubled, wages haven't risen in 25 years, healthcare insurance costs my husband & I $800 A MONTH, even if you don't use it. It's insane. Too much corporate price gouging going on. The Republican law makers on Capitol Hill have threatened to do away with our Social Security & Medicare... & I hear some want to raise the retirement age for Social Security to 70 years old. 70! What the hell? They'd have us work until we were dead, if they had their way. So, I understand the French people protesting, just need to be smart & di it without the violence, property destruction & looting.
It's not so much the increase of retirement age, it's the way it was done. Pushed through without a vote, like a dictator would do. The grabbing of power, the loss of freedom and lawlessness on the government's part is the cause of the unrest. Which inadvertently causes the government to do more of the same to try and control the riots.
@@soanonso Doesn't matter is my view. It's been known about for a long time. They took the money, in return for a pension from a given age. They have defaulted on the debt to the peasants. They have not defaulted on the debts to their banker mates. But above all, the took the money and they hid the debts. Now people have suffered a loss, all the conditions for fraud are proved.
Stay safe Ryan and your family and Billy etc I have heard rumours that they are thinking of doing this for both men and women in the UK from 66 to 68. Thanks for keeping us informed Ryan.
We have all them taxes in the UK, retirement age is currently 66, soon to be 67 closely followed by 68. They’ll soon be putting it up to 70 I’m sure. Governments just do what they want these days without due process.
Hope your Mums health and the whole situation improves soon. In Australia our retirement age was 65 but now I can’t retire until I’m 73! I’m a massage therapist. Imagine expecting to get a massage from a 72 year old! How very wrong but no one here is protesting 😢 I’m hoping my art practice will support me from 65 to 73 🖼️ 😊
Thank you for sharing this. We see this on our news here in the USA. Here in the USA when there are protests many of the protesters don't care at all about the issues/concerns and they use it to cause destruction, theft, damage. I am so sorry that this impacted your family.
Unrest is all over. It is way past time. We have more bumpy times ahead so we all need to plan to work together against governments that are working against the core of its power....the people. While it sucks now, I LOVE seeing the people of France really taking a stand. Maybe a group could start a movement to get all the trash moved to block off government buildings? Would also be a great time to highlight the benefits of reducing waste. We will get our respective nations back on track with some protests and elbow grease cleaning out bad politicians at the voting booths.
You sound angry! How is anger going to fix anything! Taking a stand is great, gathering to make a positive change and movement is great! But rioting against the government only angers them, which will lead to worst. Change your leaders, is one way. Get into office yourself to make changes. Rioting and trashing offices, where they may be people trying to make changes, and Dr., doing their jobs, will not solve the situation.
@@annaibarra3447 Not angry, and not condoning violence. Tired is probably more appropriate, but not giving up or in. We have a lot of negative things to undo and the path to righting things is usually bumpy. Just keeping it real.
@Anna Ibarra, The government is hired to work for the people, and if they don’t, they need to be removed. The days of them working for their own agenda and filling their own pockets is over. Don’t believe me, do your research, protests against governments are happening all over the world!! The media just doesn’t want to show it because they are owned by the same people who ‘own’ the governments.
@@stephjezo6470 You know! Understand! I’m in the US, so I understand. I must add that sometimes I get also so angry but I hav to offer it up to my God, lord and Savior. Take this anger from me. Helps me. 🙏🏽
@@annaibarra3447 Forgive me if I get this incorrect but I do believe it is said God helps those who help themselves so don't hand that anger over......use it to your advantage and to help bring about change and pray for him to strengthen that passion even more and to guide you to use it the right way. Work smart and efficiently.
That was so well reported by you Ryan. Great job. You can trust that the vandals are in no way interested in the protest and are acting upon the authority of criminal organizations. My heart goes our to the protesters and the other good people of France, whose lives will be impacted by the government reform to pensions, as they have been in Canada.
Good morning team I’ve been watching the protests unfold from down here in New Zealand It’s all over telegram and twitter and on Redacted on RUclips 9:09 … Greed and control of the elite 💔😞 We had a huge protest here in Wellington city a yr ago ish for mandates and it turned nasty … the government planted paid people to hipe the Angry … I feel for the children who have to grow through this agenda … sadly the world isn’t as we know it 💔 Stay strong everyone where ever you are in world ❤
Hello from Australia... Thank you for your reporting... In Australia we have to work till we're 67 yrs... On the ground reporting makes all the difference...
Wow, we've been through this in the US several times in different cities. Our law enforcement and military usually stop it for going on for so long. The trash and rat's are going to be a problem if it continues for too long. Stay safe Ryan.
Here in the US you get full benefits to retire if born after 1960 at the age of 67. There are too many baby boomers aging out for the system to sustain. Plus our government raided the funding. We don't have Nationalized Healthcare. 64 is great! The French are spoiled in this area. I'm sorry your going through this Ryan. Stay safe! Things will probably get worse before they get better.
Its the same problem everywhere in the west , baby boomers retiring and not enough in the till to sustain the payments, not that pretty much anyone with a brain couldn’t have seen this coming, here in NZ its 65 with debate around 67 (and universal not means tested) and in Australia its 67 and means tested. France has it good, I’ve also heard that in China for example that their pension fund is going to be exhausted by 2035.
I was wondering when and if you were going to cover this..great job, stay safe. We know how you feel, we just went through this in Canada 🇨🇦 ANTIFA is everywhere, disgusting 😑 Freedom convoy was PEACEFUL ✌️ Just shared your Video on my GETTR page, Thanks for keeping us updated on the France 🇫🇷 protests.

Ryan this has to be one of your best videos ever. Bravo!
I love how you have Incorporated the VHS tape player with you as the broadcaster and you responding to yourself. Brilliant my friend.
Of course the political, financial and moral status of not just 🇫🇷 France, but the entire world, is shameful at best. 😢
You have found your calling 😊 you have a news reader voice, documentary voice and delivery 10/10 Ryan
Yes, Ryan this was really very well done. Love the use of my old tv! The reporter style documentary suits you well. Would love to see you do this again. 😊
I subscribe to a number of RUclips channels based in France and to my knowledge you are the only host who has had the courage to share the situation of what is going on politically and socially in your country. Bravo Ryan! Now, after exposing the raw and ugly truth of how the rioting and mayhem is affecting every innocent citizen to some degree, it is time to shore up your own family's business that depends on tourist trade. Re-read the comments here. Consider the many cautionary warnings to keep your family and yourself safe. Again, I applaud your truth and courage.

And you did it well in just presenting facts and sharing experiences.
Well said! I'm from the US as well.
I agree it’s rough here too. The French don’t mess around when it comes to strikes
Thanks for your comment. I had no idea about the very favorable u.s. pension pay for Congressman for 2 years of work.
Yes and the political candidates also get to keep ALL of the money they raise (in the millions of dollars) for their political campaigns even if they do not win the office. That goes from Dog Catcher all the way up to President and everything in between SMH.....
@@FernandoDiazJr it's not just the pension they also get premium health insurance free for life 😡
Retirement age is 65 here in Canada. We pay very high taxes as well. I understand the economics of it. Population is aging, and fewer people in the workforce contributing to the pension fund. BUT there has to be a vote! Last I heard, France was a democracy, not tyranny!!
I hope this gets resolved soon!
No need for a vote, the government is paid to make these decisions, that is why you vote for a political party to take office. If they had to have a referendum for every law passed nothing would ever get done..
As a fellow Canadian, and with total respect, who would actually vote yes? Macron knows that the people will hate this, but isn't it better than no pension at all? There's nothing in it for him, and as rough as it may feel, it is probably the only reasonable decision.
Not just fewer people contributing to the pension fund but also fewer people doing the work that the older generations still require them to do.... There is a lack of workforce in many sectors all around Europe and nobody seems to understand that it is simple demography driving it.
It’s 67 and 6 months in the States, soon to go up to 70 if the politicians have their way.
I'm glad you touched on this, Ryan. I'm a US American and I agree with you on all points. Great video production, your use of the television set was brilliant. You sitting on Macron's head was perfectly symbolic!!
Stay safe Ryan and your family. In the US they moved our retirement from 62 to66+ for full benefit and they tried to get it set to 70.
That’s not off the board. It’s part of the GOP budget plan along with cuts to SS, Medicare, VA benefits, Medicaid, ACA and other programs I’m forgetting. It hasn’t been presented to the House yet although it will most likely pass. Fortunately it won’t likely pass the Senate.
Betcha our politicians are all FINE, right? Sigh.
And for those without enough savings of their own for retirement will remain out of reach for years past the age of qualification for Social Security if one wants to avoid poverty conditions.
Yes here in the states they want to work us till we're dead or no good years left to enjoy a retirement if theres even any social security left its horrible but im sure the powers that be wont be affected they're all crooked anyway its pathetic
It didn’t pass the senate. That’s the GOP plan only.
Great video Ryan. Balanced and informative. I’m Australian but lived in the UK for a number of years in my mid 20s. Loved to be able to visit France so easily and quickly. Amazing people and history so it’s heartbreaking to watch it be torn apart. The Australian retirement age has been incrementally increased over the years to age 67. Like all things it’s just a guide (eligibility to a pension). Some people retire earlier and some later. All working Australians have an individual (and mandatory) superannuation fund which can only be accessed when you retire. We also bristle every time this is tinkered with by the Government.
evening ryan………keep smiling the french have always been revolutionary…………..loads of strikes in uk too……….it’s worldwide discontent at the minute…….strange times😢
Strange times indeed! Our nation has high prices as well. The US has had such such awful riots! Maybe it’s the younger generation that just can’t take it, so they gather in rioting! Why take it out on the smaller business people, Dr.‘s, regular people trying to live, despite their nations crisis.
Ever hear that Rush song, Bastille day? US and UK protests don't have a history of ending with folks' heads in a different location from their bodies.
Well presented Ryan impartial and true. blessing to your Mother and Father, stay strong, hopefully this world wide disruption will end soon.
Unfortunately, it is always the everyday people that are made to suffer when the government wants more money, this is a worldwide problem. There is a certain element of people that look at these protests as an opportunity to steal and cause trouble, they are the underbelly of society. I support the people that are tired of being made to pay for all of the greedy politicians and their projects. Take care ,Ryan, I am happy that you are safe and I pray that your Mom and Dad continue to heal..
Macron did it without a vote. Thanks Ryan for keeping us informed.
That is why he has the job where hard decision have to made. It is unfortunate that the people seeking to do violence are not the people who will be impacted in the near future. To have some one work to age 64 is not that out of the normal. So the question to the whole situation is why are the young people staging this? There could be plenty of time to rectify these laws. I find that people are just angry about everything and are blood thirsty and are doing this for sport.
He does not need a referendum, that is why you vote a political party in, to make these laws and decisions. It is the same in every country.
@@janetpendlebury6808 He would be a dictator then, he decreed it through "Parliament" or whatever the French call it, without a vote (Or his agent did), he did say it was on his reform agenda prior to voting but realised that Parliament would vote him down, so he passed it through anyway, not a good sign!?!
Why did Macron do it? There must be a good reason.
Good to see the French still have a revolutionary spirit . It’s the way Macron has imposed it that incites the outrage . I remember the same outrage occurred over 10 yrs ago when the Govt there was raising the retirement age from 55 or 58 to 60 ! Most of the W world has reluctantly had to accept the delayed retirement age as an inevitable economic price citizens have to pay for the ageing population . Macron knows that France is prone to riots and extreme civil unrest when ANY lifestyle factors are threatened so the ultimate cost to shopkeepers, garbage, fuel, and transport has to rest at his door . The looters and exploiters are vile but any study of history shows they form a small percentage of the anger at the heart of protests such as this . The news highlights these extremes and avoids the core issues .
When the French stop rioting for civil rights we know the rest of the world is in big trouble . What did Macron expect by acting in such an undemocratic unilateral fashion ..buck stops at his door .
Thanks for doing this for your viewers. I am sorry for everyone affected by this situation. It’s very sad.
It's sad that the protesters are using violence, looting and criminal damage to further their claims, or more likely people are carrying out these crimes under the disguise of protesting! The police's heavy handed approach to establishing law and order is unfortunately a common occurrence in Europe, but they will say it is commensurate to the violence directed towards them and they normally get away with that, but not always, the Euro finals Spring to mind in Paris!?!
In the US the retirement age was raised for my generation when I was a kid and had no vote. Nobody lifted a finger, not our parents or anyone. Not a protest. My parents could retire at 65, it'll be 67 for me. Bastards.
Thanks for being so kind as to give us such an even handed explanation of the situation. Your journalistic standards put many of the so-called professionals to shame. The TV as part of your report is a great way to make your points very clear. Excellent work Ryan!
Yes! Well done Ryan! You’re the first (probably only…) of the Franco-British vloggers I watch to mention the recent French political situation. I know that most of these are chateau renovators or farmhouse renovators but this story you are covering is so important. I am very sympathetic to the peaceful protests against Macron’s retirement reforms. I did not realise the range of strike actions being taken. In Britain we also have a range of strikes - and again I am very sympathetic. The cost of living crisis is hitting hard across many countries. And in Britain we are truly ‘led by donkeys’. Good for you covering this topic.
Good to hear the thoughts of someone living in France rather than newscasters! Thank you, Ryan, we really liked it!
I have been following the developments in France the past weeks because of subscribing to your’s and your friends channels and vlogs. It is so much more than just the additional two years. The total number of years you have to pay in to the fund, and the underhanded way it was pushed through by the government is driving the anger too.
I saw this on our news in the USA! Most people retire at either 62, 65 or even 70 in our country Not saying You should in France and we don't have quite the tax burden. We have the same problem with Outsiders stirring up Real trouble in protests, they go city to city looting, damaging property too! Sorry this is happening. Thanks for showing the TRUTH behind what we are shown. Never heard about fuel shortage or trash problem. Prayers for all of you!
The tax burden is growing in the blue states. Electric, water, property tax, gas tax, sales tax, registration fees. They call it fees Add it up.
Creatively and objectively done, Ryan! So glad you live in the country, but your goods and services are truly affected. Factual news is seldom seen here on the approved broadcasts. I won't say more. You and yours are definitely in my prayers.
Yes, this vlog really surprised me. Ryan, you have knack for this.
In regards to the criminal activity you showed, Welcome to how things are done in the US now. 😢
Having followed protests and other crazy things in France for a while now, I’m glad one of ‘my’ chateau channels is talking about this. And of course it happens to be you! Thanks!
What a horrible situation, but thank you for such a creative video and keeping us informed. I especially loved your sitting on the TV monitor while Monsieur Macron was talking.
Thank you Ryan for this update. I have not seen anything on this, so grateful. Since when does the word protest mean destruction and theft!! Unreal!
Ryan, that was an excellent video, very well produced and cleverly stages with the old television set. Very well done! I do miss seeing you at the convent with Billy though.
Hi from Washington state. I'm sorry that you all are going through this. Thank you for your honest reporting of this situation. Be safe. Sending prayers of healing and health to your mum and dad.
Ryan this is where you excel. I always thought that your video work was professional; now I realize you have the ability to make one feel they are right there and experiencing the energy of the riot. This is your calling. Great work.
In England retirement age is 66 and there is talk of raising it again. I feel for people doing heavy physical jobs but don't agree with the violence. Let's hope we get living conditions sorted out fairly for everyone. Hope your mum and dad are ok Ryan . Look after each other.
I can understand the protesting from people set to retire in a year or two... but these are thugs running amuck! Fact is, more and more people are living into their 90's. The 70yo's would have likely already been long dead, had this been the same society, from 60 years ago. Some 70yo's, today, are more healthy than the average 50yo. The baby boomers have already sucked up a lot of the money paid into retirement, (likely mismanaged funds) and soon, there will be another rush of retirees. I understand the need to increase the retirement age but there SHOULD have been a VOTE and they could have given people a 3-5 year headsup before actually enacting the new law. This was a dirty move! Even worse, to punish and pis§ off the rest of the people by shutting down garbage removal and fuel supplies???! Who the F*ck does that?! 🧐
@@AnnieWarbux a WEF member thats who.
Idk about WEF or anti-WEF-ers.. but, it sounds like a move right out of Pootin's playbook! Punish one, punish ALL!
@@AnnieWarbux Poutin is FIGHTING the WEF not participating . stop watching the news its all a lie . The Ukraine is part of the WEF thats why the war!!
In Sweden they made a reform from 65 to 67-69 years for your pension. It is alright if you are working in offices, politicians etc… But not if you are working as postman, carpenter as a labour in general. Our politicians told us that if our body is worn down at 40/50 years we could always change what we work with. In Sweden if you are older than 50 it is nearly impossible to find another jobb. I believe we should have protestet peacefully, but… So I hope the french people win this battle. ❤
Thank you, Ryan, for bringing this to the attention of your subscribers. I watch two alternative networks that have been reporting on this. Mainstream media doesn't report the truth. I hope your subscribers appreciate what you have done here on your channel.
Hello from the SF Bay Area! Thank you for this inside look at the strikes, Ryan. It is so hard from California to really understand. I'm shocked Macron did this dastardly deed of not letting anyone know what he was going to do when elected. Your politicians are as corrupt as ours. So sad. Be well, best wishes to your Mum.
Wonderful Explanation Ryan, England did it without no Problem , Ireland 🇮🇪 you Retire at 65, get your Pension then, Unfortunately some People Die within that Year , This is Something I don’t understand 🤔
This reform was already in the paper during his first run. It isn't a big surprise ! It was just a question of when !
@@josephinewills8647 it will be to statistics......if people are living longer then you got it.....make them work longer
Thanks for presenting your view of what is going on in France. I have never understood riots such as those going on in France now. The protestors are acting like petulant children. Stay safe Ryan and make sure your family and friends stay safe.
@@juliewilliams1545 since their introduction pensions were always calculated to run out roughly when you were ready to turn up your toes. The life expectancy has been steadily increasing but pension age has not kept pace until quite recently. (In Australia, that is.)
When I started work, the retirement age for a woman was 60 and 65 for men. Now it’s 67 for both. I retired at 72.
Ryan, I’ve been worried about your Mom based on the video where you told us she was stuck in the middle of this !
I’m so sorry for everyone who has been affected by this 😢
Thank you for the update ! Stay safe and continue to be the hard working, loving son and friend ❤
Excellent reporting Ryan. Thank you. Love the tv.
My heart breaks for young people- the generation above them has forgotten or does not care about the fact that the generation before them sacrificed so much in order to give them the freedoms and rights that people are so lucky to have today. They would be so disappointed in us and the way we demand our rights without considering the consequences, short or long term. With rights come responsibilities and it is time to take responsibility. When anarchy dominates we are all doomed. Thank you Ryan, great video this week, good unbiased journalism and compassionate observation. btw, Canada is messed up too, atm they seem to be hiding it well!
Well done reporting! Thank YOU!
Good for you Ryan… it is like the elephant in the room when I watch all the blogs in France, just not discussed. Prayers for a clear path to settlement of issues.
Cool effect with the TV. Nice reporting job Ryan
It’s happening all over the world I’m afraid. In England you can’t retire till your 67. We have strikes here too. It’s just a really bad time for everyone. Stay safe.
Really well done Ryan. I appreciate the firsthand information as well as your very thoughtful opinions on what’s going on.
Hope you and your family, especially your mum, are well. 🥰🌼
Ryan, I am very much that person that does not follow the news or anything really related to TV because I'm trying to keep all that negativity out of my life. I tend to take it in and hold it if I am exposed. Thank you so much for bringing the reality to life here. Are absolute best thoughts go with you because I know that this has to be very scary right now. You're in a good place but my thoughts are with your family and of course with you and with everybody who we've come to know and love in RUclips. Continue to keep us updated please, and by the way... Fabulous job on your editing work, that was absolutely stunning to watch and I am so proud of you. Massive sized hugs from Texas!
i dont do news either, but dont mind a little heads up with out the lengthy thing news is plus allllllllllllllll the sppppppppppporrrrrrrrrtsssssss and weaaaaaaathhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheerrrrrrrr reports. a video of my choice i can handle. Ryan tends to get goofy sometimes and with his clean cut in view, i decided to give it a go. well done ryan.
I was wondering if any creators would cover this situation. Thank you for covering it.
About time ordinary people stuck up for themselves (obviously I dont support vandalism or looting though- Its people like that that piggyback on legitimate protest that cause even more draconian crackdowns and make people support the curtailment of social rights and freedom)
We’ve had the retirement age creep up over the years here in Australia. In July we have our retirement age being lifted to 67. The truth is it allows broader spectrum of the population to contribute to the community for longer. On another note, I like your style and creativity with the videos. 😊
So glad to see you Ryan.. I have been hoping you are safe.. looks like you are at your parents house ..so so sorry for all of France’s troubles.. hoping it resolves soon..🤞🏼🙏🏼❤
That's so sad to hear these protestors are destroying innocent folks property. Sure hope your Mom is okay. Give her a hug from Independence, Virginia please. 💚🙏
Thank you for letting the world know what's happening. You would be a fantastic reporter of the truth in the world.
So sad this is happening.
Ryan… thank you for this informative report ! Excellent information. !!
Feeling sad for the people of France 😢
Prayers being sent to your Mom.
It’s good to know you are home. Stay safe and thank you for sharing; we are not being told much here in the US, as all of our news is about bank failures, massive weather storms and war in the Ukraine.
Ryan, thank you for reporting what is really going on in France. I am very disappointed in Macron. God, protect France from all evil.
Wonderful editing Ryan absolutely loved that old TV effect. Hope your Mum & Dad are doing well. I was getting ready to send out a search party for you ;) Is everyone ready for the guests to come fishing? How will you get supplies in with all the strikes and no fuel? Farmers here have fuel tanks on their property, it they do the same in France you might be able to purchase a fill up from a neighbour for any health emergency.
Ryan, it's nice to get a true perspective from someone living through the troubles in France at the moment. All I know is that the French have more holidays than we do in the UK, and retire earlier than we can. (I retired aged 64, but my sister,6 years younger than me, has to wait till she is 67!) Pensioners are getting a raw deal. Thank you for shining the light on the problem. Stay safe, and all the best to your mum.
Thank you for this update & the clever production values. While this isn't good news, I'm glad you're OK! How is your mum doing now? Be safe - sending love & blessings to you & your lovely family
Greetings from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦. Wishing the people of France a peaceful and swift return to calm and safety.
Watching this video is all to familiar to those of us in the United States. Your mom and dad are in my prayers. Stay safe and stay real my friend.
Thank you Ryan for your insight of what is going on there. Luvs from 🇺🇸 ❤
Thank you Ryan for for sharing what’s happening over there in French. I am also in the San Francisco Bay area and I understand how chaotic and reckless things can get due to social unrest and unfortunate outcomes. Here in the US it’s 67 years old before retirement. I remember the same happening right here in the bay area just a couple years ago. I wish your country the best possible outcome no matter how long it takes.
It is time for change and everyone knows it.
I'm glad your not out smashing windows Ryan and you are doing the public a favor covering the news! :-)
Thank you for the insight and real time struggle Ryan. 😢 Be safe please.
Ryan, this was a wonderful thoughtful and thoughtout video. I learned a lot and feel bad that it is happening to France. Protests are one thing, but vandalism is unacceptable! This is happening in the United States and the vandals feel that they are owed the items that they steal. 😢
Thank you for sharing this information with us, Ryan. This is really horrifying. I hope things get better for you. Take care, and be safe. We all love you very much, Ryan.
Thanks Ryan for this honest look at what is happening in France.
Peaceful protests I can understand. Unfortunately there are those who take advantage of protests and start vandalizing properties. Here in the United States the age of retirement is 66. You can retire earlier but don’t get full benefits if you do. I hope you and your family stay safe and that your mum is ok. Love your channel.
When they f****d up the pension age in the U.K. my mum got caught up in it. The key issue is that people make their financial plans according to the information they have available. When the government (all politicians are evil turds, this is not party specific criticism) increase the pension age at short notice then those plans can fall apart. Mum ended up being forced to retire a year before she could claim her pension anyway because she was carrying for two family members with cancer and was exhausted. But she was lucky she could afford to do it. When these sorts of changes are made there has to be a longer lead in and better ways to build up pension pots/flexible end of career working.
The loss of fit and healthy retired volunteer workers has crippled lots of sectors which previously relied heavily on them. There used to be lots retired in their fifties who would be on boards and making high powered decisions in volunteer positions and of course be full of energy and very able. But now we will be in our seventies and not only less able but also really tired. Yes health care has improved so more people are old, and that is ultimately why this is happening, but that doesn’t negate the fact that by our seventies many of us are really tired of working.
Hope your mum makes it to hospital Ryan.
We’ve had strikes, riots and fuel/food/medicine shortages in the U.K. in the last few years and it never gets nicer. The media always make it worse too by winding everyone up into a panic.
very interesting Ryan. Nice format too. In my opinion - your best vlog so far.
It’s sad Ryan you are so right about this protest but be mindful of the laws of the land
What can we say...it's far from our home country yet we will see more of these uprisings sooner than later. Did not know how expensive it is to live in France. Living here in Saskatchewan Canada and Canada as a whole we have many government issues but far less than in France. Perhaps the government there will rethink those decisions for the sake of the people and the country. Take care stay safe hoping and praying for better times soon.
Canadian as well.. maybe I don't know enough about the issue, but I can't believe Macron won't back down... you could offer something extra to those willing to stay in the workforce longer.. so those who cannot physically or mentally bring their A game and know it can retire.. we voted the government out that changed our retirement age to 67.. as a Canadian living in Alberta I am grateful to the rest of Canada for their wisdom.
Peaceful protests are great, BUT a lot of these destructive rioters are actually 'paid' groups, and are brought in from other countries in buses. Happens everywhere that peaceful protesting is happening.
Here in Australia, the age pension has risen from 60 to 67. And heading for 70. We are highly taxed also. Good on the French for having a say!
Great video again Ryan ! Truly you have talent for delivering on an important topic with both balance and restraint. I loved how you used the old TV to illustrate your points. Clever ! My mom actually had the same TV back in the 1980’s 😂. You’re obviously not a “One Trick Pony” and I see why you’re such a treasured friend to Billy and the gang.
Well done, Ryan. Thank you.
Stay safe everyone In France. I hope your mum gets well soon. Good little video, very informative. People are so stupid. What have they achieved.?
Someone has to pay for all the damage. Which will put their taxes up. Stay safe Ryan.
Take care Ryan and stay safe. My retirement age based on my birth year in the U.S. is 66 and 4 mos. And we have had to worry about our social security benefits being reduced. Scary times.
I've been thinking of you, LaLande, my fave Pethericks (which is all of them!) while seeing the strikes. May all be well for your "adopted" country very very soon!
Oh my word - it is so unsettling to see this happening in France. Thank you for showing us what is real as the media coverage in NZ certainly doesn't explain all sides of the equation as you have. Stay safe, keep positive and I really do hope things settle down over there soon. Hope all is well with your dear mum and dad too.
Hoping all works out! ❤
As an American, I'm all for protesting, it's the violence, destruction of property & looting that is unacceptable. There's always some radical faction that behaves that way that ruins it for everyone else. FYI, cost of goods, electricity, food, has gone way up here. I saw an interview with the new Mayor of Los Angeles, California... they had over 60,000 people living on the streets because housing has gotten so expensive. She said many still have jobs, but can't afford a place to live. She has already found housing for a lot of people, & is working hard & fast to house the rest of them. I live in Florida. It used to be really affordable to live here, but not anymore. Our groceries cost has doubled, wages haven't risen in 25 years, healthcare insurance costs my husband & I $800 A MONTH, even if you don't use it. It's insane. Too much corporate price gouging going on. The Republican law makers on Capitol Hill have threatened to do away with our Social Security & Medicare... & I hear some want to raise the retirement age for Social Security to 70 years old. 70! What the hell? They'd have us work until we were dead, if they had their way. So, I understand the French people protesting, just need to be smart & di it without the violence, property destruction & looting.
We are with the majority of the French people on this. But we are sad that our trip to Brittany and the Loire in a few weeks will be a challenge. 🥺
Ryan, Outside the topic which I’m on your side. This was fantastic reporting/ sharing! Well done, sharing this with the world from your view!
It's 68 in the UK
How sad Ryan❤ thank you for reporting on this.
Hi. France is lucky 64 yrs old. In uk I currently will be retiring at 67. They are treating to put it up.
Life expectancy has gone down, so why aren't they reducing the retirement age?
@@Nickle314 Advocates of raising the retirement age often say that "life expectancies are increasing", which is untrue.
It's not so much the increase of retirement age, it's the way it was done. Pushed through without a vote, like a dictator would do. The grabbing of power, the loss of freedom and lawlessness on the government's part is the cause of the unrest. Which inadvertently causes the government to do more of the same to try and control the riots.
@@soanonso Doesn't matter is my view. It's been known about for a long time.
They took the money, in return for a pension from a given age.
They have defaulted on the debt to the peasants.
They have not defaulted on the debts to their banker mates.
But above all, the took the money and they hid the debts. Now people have suffered a loss, all the conditions for fraud are proved.
Stay safe Ryan and your family and Billy etc I have heard rumours that they are thinking of doing this for both men and women in the UK from 66 to 68. Thanks for keeping us informed Ryan.
We have all them taxes in the UK, retirement age is currently 66, soon to be 67 closely followed by 68. They’ll soon be putting it up to 70 I’m sure. Governments just do what they want these days without due process.
That's right now good reason. Reminds me of the Black lives matter protests in America
Hope your Mums health and the whole situation improves soon. In Australia our retirement age was 65 but now I can’t retire until I’m 73! I’m a massage therapist. Imagine expecting to get a massage from a 72 year old! How very wrong but no one here is protesting 😢 I’m hoping my art practice will support me from 65 to 73 🖼️ 😊
You can get the age pension at 67, if you are born after 1957. If you are born before then it is 65 or 66 (depending when you were born).
@@JulieS261 thanks Julie. I’m very happy to be corrected. Far cry from my mothers era where she could retire at 55!

In other news. I have missed you
Thank you for sharing this. We see this on our news here in the USA. Here in the USA when there are protests many of the protesters don't care at all about the issues/concerns and they use it to cause destruction, theft, damage. I am so sorry that this impacted your family.
Unrest is all over. It is way past time. We have more bumpy times ahead so we all need to plan to work together against governments that are working against the core of its power....the people. While it sucks now, I LOVE seeing the people of France really taking a stand. Maybe a group could start a movement to get all the trash moved to block off government buildings? Would also be a great time to highlight the benefits of reducing waste. We will get our respective nations back on track with some protests and elbow grease cleaning out bad politicians at the voting booths.
You sound angry! How is anger going to fix anything! Taking a stand is great, gathering to make a positive change and movement is great! But rioting against the government only angers them, which will lead to worst. Change your leaders, is one way. Get into office yourself to make changes. Rioting and trashing offices, where they may be people trying to make changes, and Dr., doing their jobs, will not solve the situation.
@@annaibarra3447 Not angry, and not condoning violence. Tired is probably more appropriate, but not giving up or in. We have a lot of negative things to undo and the path to righting things is usually bumpy. Just keeping it real.
@Anna Ibarra, The government is hired to work for the people, and if they don’t, they need to be removed. The days of them working for their own agenda and filling their own pockets is over. Don’t believe me, do your research, protests against governments are happening all over the world!! The media just doesn’t want to show it because they are owned by the same people who ‘own’ the governments.
@@stephjezo6470 You know! Understand! I’m in the US, so I understand. I must add that sometimes I get also so angry but I hav to offer it up to my God, lord and Savior. Take this anger from me. Helps me. 🙏🏽
@@annaibarra3447 Forgive me if I get this incorrect but I do believe it is said God helps those who help themselves so don't hand that anger over......use it to your advantage and to help bring about change and pray for him to strengthen that passion even more and to guide you to use it the right way. Work smart and efficiently.
Well done Ryan. Your perspective is eye opening. This may be your niche.
Getting Dalek vibes from the VHS TV combo
That was so well reported by you Ryan. Great job. You can trust that the vandals are in no way interested in the protest and are acting upon the authority of criminal organizations. My heart goes our to the protesters and the other good people of France, whose lives will be impacted by the government reform to pensions, as they have been in Canada.
Good morning team
I’ve been watching the protests unfold from down here in New Zealand
It’s all over telegram and twitter and on Redacted on RUclips 9:09
… Greed and control of the elite 💔😞
We had a huge protest here in Wellington city a yr ago ish for mandates and it turned nasty … the government planted paid people to hipe the Angry …
I feel for the children who have to grow through this agenda … sadly the world isn’t as we know it 💔
Stay strong everyone where ever you are in world ❤
Hello from Australia...
Thank you for your reporting...
In Australia we have to work till we're 67 yrs...
On the ground reporting makes all the difference...
Wow, we've been through this in the US several times in different cities. Our law enforcement and military usually stop it for going on for so long.
The trash and rat's are going to be a problem if it continues for too long. Stay safe Ryan.
Thank you Ryan …very informative…not too much reporting here in the UK about it all….
Here in the US you get full benefits to retire if born after 1960 at the age of 67. There are too many baby boomers aging out for the system to sustain. Plus our government raided the funding. We don't have Nationalized Healthcare. 64 is great! The French are spoiled in this area. I'm sorry your going through this Ryan. Stay safe! Things will probably get worse before they get better.
Its the same problem everywhere in the west , baby boomers retiring and not enough in the till to sustain the payments, not that pretty much anyone with a brain couldn’t have seen this coming, here in NZ its 65 with debate around 67 (and universal not means tested) and in Australia its 67 and means tested. France has it good, I’ve also heard that in China for example that their pension fund is going to be exhausted by 2035.
Ryan, fantastic coverage. Thank you.
I was wondering when and if you were going to cover this..great job, stay safe.
We know how you feel, we just went through this in Canada 🇨🇦
ANTIFA is everywhere, disgusting 😑
Freedom convoy was PEACEFUL ✌️
