France and pensions

Recently the president of France, Emmanual Macron, is pushing for a pension reform which he believes will keep France more competitive in the global stage during the 21st century. This has caused mass protests in France with many people going out to the streets. Frances has a current 42 different pension system across all sectors, some advantages of this are that more physically demanding jobs like construction and railway workers can retire earlier than other jobs like lawyers and secretaries. But with this new pension reform, there would be only one pension system across the country. The protests have caused mass shutdowns of schools business and railways because people are going out to protest instead of working

I have already watched the movie Joker and I personally think it was fantastic and that Joaquim Pheonix deserves to have his rendition put up with the Jack Nicholson and Heath Leadergers joker. The new gritty movie despite its accolades has come under immense scrutiny for the gun violence shown in the movie. Groups of people are claiming it is going to lead to more gun violence or violence in general due to the main character enjoying when he kills people. Normally the antagonist is the one who enjoys hurting or killing people but in this movie, that character is the protagonist and people are believing that is not healthy.

Now obviously they can still view the movie if accompanied by an adult which is usually their parent. Which means the parent is enabling and chaperoning them to go se

South park makes fun of another group

In the most recent episode of South Park, the plot revolves around the satirization of transgender athletes. In the episode, a "Randy Savage" looking character comes to a female competition claiming to have just started identifying as a female two weeks prior and ends up winning the competition. The episode has sparked controversy mainly from the transgender community about how the show is being transphobic. One of the most famous or infamous transgender athletes Rachel Mckinnon called the show "lazily written and transphobic". This episode helps bring to light the issue of transgender athletes, males who transitioned to females, in women's sports. To those who claim they just want to keep sports fair, the transgender community claims it was never fair and allowing these transgender females to compete is no different as Micheal Phelps long torso or Yao Ming being 7'6. However, there needs to be some sort of segregation in the sexes for the sport to preserve

NCAA try to save face

The NCAA has finally come with the times and is now acting to "embrace change" by allowing college athletes to be paid for use of their name image and likeness. This is not a new problem and has been talked about and made fun of for years and years. Even the Olympics, the most prestigious sporting event in history, has allowed athletes to participate and sponsored for more than 30 years. So now that athletes in the NCAA will be able to profit what is next. It is agreed upon the school can not and will not directly pay the athlete. But let's say the coach of a team starts a shoe business and signs all his athletes to that shoe brand and any recruits who sign will get a shoe deal as well. Won't that create bad recruiting practices? What do you think
