France doesn't have the lowest retirement age-- countries like Nepal, India, and Indonesia have pension retirements in the 50s. The absolute highest that French pensions go is 900 euros a month. And I've often found that when people complain about lazy workers, it's usually just that a worker isn't acting like a desperate servant stressing over their next meal.

The problem is you're comparing French benefits to other nations (without even understanding the numbers), rather than comparing benefits to the actual need. French workers had these benefits because they fought and literally paid for them. American workers don't because too many of them take the side of corporate ownership and argue that it should be easier to fire people, workers shouldn't organize, benefits can always get worse etc.

Now its

Do they have the phrase "moving the goal posts" in Venezuela? Did you just forget that Jimenez' dictatorship was funded by America? I guess you've lived there all your life but maybe you're only like 10 years old and so all of that is ancient history to you.

American oil owns Venezuela-- that's called being involved. American oil owned and funded Chavez just like it owned and funded Jimenez. No matter what side you're on, the unavoidable fact is that America is always involved, and if things aren't going the way they want, they'll assassinate your leaders or fund a coup. Learn your history.

You live in Venezuela and you're here on reddit saying shit like

Are you an American living in Venezuela? It's difficult to believe any Venezuelan who knows their history would say something so wrong. Its not a secret that the US funded this coup just like it's no secret they funded the coup in '48. Do you know where Jiminez fled to safety when actual Venezuelans threw him out and restored democracy? The last American president openly put a price on Maduro's head and everyone knows about the USAID jackpot that awaited Guaido. Even if you pretend the multiple coups never happened, you can't escape the fact that the US was all too happy to be Chavez and Maduros most important trade partners-- whether it was toppling Venezuelas govts or supporting their dictators, the US has always been involved in Venezuela and you embarrass yourself saying otherwise.

You aren't actually debating anything, just being extremely pedantic about legal terms that often mean different things in different states and countries. There's no reason anyone needs to reference a specific murder charge to call this murder-- murder itself at its most basic level means an unjustified killing. But legally speaking, murder is often referenced in this exact situation: depraved heart murder or third degree murder.

Vehicular manslaughter is another very specific legal term that only exists in certain places, so it's unreasonable for you to expect people to change their colloquial definitions of murder based on that. Even so, this is likely going to be far more serious than vehicular manslaughter-- which is what it would have been if the driver actually stopped and called 911. The fact that they drove away really bumps this up to potentially some kind of legal murder charge, and colloquially at least it is perfectly accurate to call them a murderer.
