France's independent public audit office shared its assessment of the pension system deficit with Prime Minister François Bayrou this Thursday. This is the starting point of a renegotiation of the 2023 pension reform that raised the legal retirement age from 62 to 64. Both worker and employer representatives will start discussions next week. One option on the table to reduce that deficit is to complement the existing worker and employer contributions with private sector pension funds. We take a closer look in this edition.

State-run pension reform for municipal employees that could save Connecticut cities millions over the next 30 years. Advocates say Connecticut's cannabis industry could still use some work. Deliberations began today in the Fairfield illegal dumping case. And New York finally has a budget.

First Republic Bank is the third bank to fail this year, and the largest. What does this tell us about the financial system? Karen Shaw Petrou, co-founder and managing partner of Federal Financial Analytics, joins us. And, May Day marks labor rights around the world. In France, citizens protest pension reform that plans to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. NPR Paris correspondent Eleanor Beardsley joins us. Then, who owns history? When documentation of historical events is often stored behind paywalls, the answer is unclear. Filmmaker Richard Misek joins us to talk about his new documentary, "A History of the World According to Getty Images."

The first day of May marks International Workers' Day, with marches and demonstrations erupting across the world in recognition of everyone who works hard for a living. In France, Labour Day is referred to as "La Fête du Travail", and this specific May Day falls in the middle of strikes and industrial action following the most controversial reform in decades.

This week, I dive into the massive wave of strikes and protests that have surged in France over the past 3 months. At it's peak, the protests swelled to over a million people, bringing young and old together on the streets.This is now the 12th week of action that has been underpinned by strikes and acts of civil disobedience organized by unions and workers across the country. We recorded this episode a couple weeks ago, and since then there have been some major developments to report. On Friday April 14th, France's constitutional council approved President Emmanuel Macron's pension reforms. This paved the way for Macron to sign these reforms into law, which he did the very next day, Saturday the 15th. The new law will go into affect in September. These hugely unpopular developments sparked a new round of protests during which many were arrested and fires were ignited across the country.  In the western city of Rennes (“REN”), the entrance to a police station was set ablaze. Trade union members also engaged in creative acts of civil disobedience by dumping gas and power meters outside a government building.Protestors continue to call for raising taxes on the wealthy and employers rather than raising the retirement age, but these calls have been completely ignored.This morning Macron addressed the country about the new pension laws, stating that these changes “were needed to guarantee everyone's pension” and that “gradually working more means also producing more wealth for our whole country.” During his address, people across the country banged saucepans together to drown out his words, their rallying cry being “Macron won't listen to us? We won't listen to him!”  France's main labor unions have called for another mass protest on May 1st, International Workers' Day. I've joined forces with my dear friend and fellow podcaster Desmond Price of the Independent Thought podcast to create a bi-weekly news segment called Under the Radar. In it, we discuss important news articles that deserve much more attention and amplification. As always, I'll be highlighting stories that shine light on our capitalist hellscape, which are often the same stories that major corporate media outlets ignore or suppress.  We'll be sharing the full discussion, including the video, with our Patreon supporters every other week.And I want to add that this is where I'll be sharing my own views and reactions much more readily than I tend to do during my interviews. If you want to hear me get fired up about the evils in our capitalist world, this Under the Radar segment is for you!Patreon for Cocktails & Capitalism: https://www.patreon.com/cocktailsandcapitalism?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creatorPatreon for Independent Thought: https://www.patreon.com/Independentthought?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fanSupport the showCocktails & Capitalism is an anticapitalist labor of love, but we could use your help to make this project sustainable.

What do the French want – a leader who respects the will of the people, or one that gets things done? In his prime time address on Monday, the term-limited Emmanuel Macron acknowledged how deeply unpopular his pension reform is. But now that it has been railroaded through parliament, validated by the courts and enacted by the president, he again assured it was for the best and that it's time to move on to the rest of his laundry list of reforms.

Tony Connelly, Europe Editor, reports from Paris where another huge protest against pension reform has taken place.

Since January this year, hundreds of thousands of people have walked out across France in protest of proposed changes to the national pension age. France's unions have stepped up action against the unpopular reforms. The protests have made moving around cities difficult with regular traffic jams, train and flight delays.

A Manhattan grand jury handing up a first-ever criminal indictment against a president of the United States. Donald Trump to be formally indicted next Tuesday over alleged hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels. It is not the US Justice Department who got the first indictment in but a local prosecutor. In New York like in much of the United States, district attorneys are elected. Alvin Bragg is a Democrat. 

First, the personnel in charge of rolling out the red carpet for the British royals went on strike, then the unions invited everyone to show up at the Palace of Versailles, then protesters torched the entrance to Bordeaux City Hall, where King Charles III was due to kick off his first state visit abroad as monarch. His hosts have thrown in the towel, announcing the postponement of the state visit.

After a surviving two no-confidence vote against French President Emmanuel Macron's government, Roger Cohen, Paris bureau chief for The New York Times and author of several books, most recently, An Affirming Flame: Meditations on Life and Politics (Knopf, 2023), discusses what's next for France's pension reform which would raise the age of retirement from 62 to 64 for most workers.

Mass demonstrations in Paris and other cities over President Macron's decision to raise the country's retirement age. Garbage is piling up in the streets of the capital as collectors refuse to work and protests also causing flight delays and even the delivery of fuel to gas stations.

A nation is up in arms, but Emmanuel Macron still fancies his chances. By turning the passage of a highly unpopular pension reform bill into a vote of confidence, the French president convinced enough conservatives to avoid bringing down the government. But it was close, with PM Élisabeth Borne's government clinging on by just nine votes. We ask about the lasting impact on the rest of Macron's term-limited four years in office. 

Lenders contribute $30 billion to rescue First Republic Bank, French President Emmanuel Macron pushes his pension reform through Parliament and seven Virginia sheriff's deputies face murder charges.

From the BBC World Service: There have been protests inside and outside the French parliament as President Emmanuel Macron invoked special constitutional powers to pass his contentious pensions bill, which he said is needed to ensure the system does not go bust. BBC Paris Correspondent Hugh Schofield was watching proceedings unfold in the French capital.

The French President has used a special constitutional power to force his pension reforms through the national assembly. Crowds converged on Place de la Concorde in response to raising the retirement age from 62 to 64. The plans had sparked two months of heated political debate and strikes. Also on the programme: the prospective meeting between the leaders of China and Russia; and greenwashing - we hear that there are now a number of associated terms - but what are green hushing, green crowding and green lighting?

Accidents can happen, as the song goes. But for the Pentagon, the Russians tempted fate when they first dumped fuel on a US reaper drone and then clipped the unmanned surveillance craft. While the US tries to carefully manage its nuclear-armed rivalry with Moscow, NATO allies harbour no such qualms about showing support for Ukraine. Slovakia is pledging a fleet of 13 MiG-29 Soviet-era warplanes to Ukraine, the second former Warsaw Pact nation in as many days to answer Kyiv's long-running request after Poland pledged four of them.

Emmanuel Macron will have gotten his pension reform out of the way early in his second mandate but at what cost? His prime minister triggering a vote of confidence rather than a straight up and down vote on the bill. How will the railroading through parliament of a plan that sparked France's biggest strikes and demonstrations in years test the legitimacy of a term-limited president and his minority government in his future dealings with the unions and lawmakers?

A majority of French people disapprove of the government proposal to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64-years-old. Women could come off worse than men, and it will involve addressing senior employment, which France does not do particularly well. And how the Paris Peace Accords, marking a temporary end to the Vietnam war, were signed 50 years ago in the French capital. The French government's proposed pension reform, which would raise the minimum retirement age has unleashed a new wave of strikes and protests, drawing a record 1.3 million people into the streets on 18 January. Some opponents say everyone will loose out in the reform, though an official report suggests women may fare worse by having to work on average seven extra months – compared to five for men – in order to even out the gender imbalance. On the street, women expressed anger at being asked to work longer in what are already difficult jobs. (Listen @58'') Opposition parties on the hard left and hard right are opposed to the reform, but some members of the ruling coalition are also expressing concern. MP and former environment minister, Barbara Pompili, has said that she cannot vote on the legislation as it stands, and is pushing for amendments to make it fairer, especially for people who started working young, and for older workers. (Listen @10'27'') France has a problem with employing seniors – people aged 55 and over – and this could become an even bigger issue if the retirement age is raised to 64. Hervé Boulhol, senior economist at the OECD, says that contrary to popular opinion previous increases in retirement have not led to more unemployment among seniors. (Listen @14'50'') The agreement to end the Vietnam war was signed in Paris on 27 January 1973, after nearly five years of difficult negotiations between the US and communist North Vietnam. France was a logical place to hold the peace talks because of its historical links to Vietnam – a French colony until 1954. (Listen @22'40'') Episode mixed by Cecile Pompeani.
