to answer the ekkks poster, because the louvre has been routinely underpaying and overworking the museum staff, there's literally nobody to keep on eye on every room in the museum even if 50% of the staff wasn't taking their legally madated 1h cheating on my spouse break under french law

You know it is very odd when self identified socialists make fun of the French for having too many labour rights. The cheating on their spouses thing, whatever. But It is a common theme even in marxist spaces to see "lol the french take a lot of breaks and riot when their rights get taken away what fools".

my intention was not to make fun of french labour rights but rather to point out it's harder to get worked to the bone if you have labour rights to begin with, i see how it came across as the opposite, sorry for that

Then consider my post more of a general comment on french jokes.

I think it's more an artifact of Amerikkkans not being able to imagine taking a piss break without risking getting fired, with flavors of the general "har har Frenchies lost two world wars and amerikkka had to save them" despite the incredible string of Ls hanging on the neck of the burgerreich

Americans spend a lot of time being bitter that things are still quite a bit less shit in Europe for most people day to day

8 million visitors per year, 50 euros per ticket. And they were pulling the copper out of this money printer? Good fucking dammit

a full price ticket to the louvre is 22 euros

but yeah, pretty hilarious example of neoliberalism owning itself

Seems like not that much revenue to me tbh

You are right a McDonalds in Houston probably has the same revenue

Do they all have to cheat on your spouse?

[–] bobs_guns@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 1 month ago

Yes, it's mandated by law after all.
