Entitlement

Can someone please help me understand this situation. France has the stupidest law on the planet that prohibits business owners from firing workers under the age of 25 until they complete a two-year grace period. Therefore, no business owners are hiring workers under 25, which has led to a record 23 percent unemployment. The government has tried to combat the unemployment by repealing the law that is keeping the students from finding a decent job. The way I see it, millions of students are rioting and protesting "the man" to keep from losing the jobs they can't seem to get in the first place. Am I misreading this?
I think that I am entitled to be a professional basketball player. I have a pretty decent shot. A couple of years ago I made 193 out of 200 free throws. That's better than Shaq. So what if I can't run very fast, or shoot a layup with my left hand, or even touch the bottom of the net when I jump. Any suggestions on how I might protest this situation?

I get it, it's kind of like the employer now saying, "if we don't want to give you a job b/c we don't want you around for two years because you might end up sucking or being shady....thanks for rioting to prove that you are shady."

Join the French professional league and if you aren't 25 yet they can't get rid of you if you keep getting your shot blocked.

What is your idea of Church?
As in.. what is church?


I'm not looking for a specific answer
and i won't be offended by any of them.

Thanks!
