America can learn from France. They have a robust capitalist economy that makes people rich AND healthcare, retirement at 62, better working conditions, and lower utility costs. All due to their strong democratic involvement. Striking is patriotic.

They should’ve implemented a second amendment like ours to ensure the governments co-operation.
America needs to take notes though
