On the one hand, these strikes have had a direct effect on the national debt, as the country wasn't able to increase pension age or cut benefits. On the other hand, it might lead to the government taxing the wealthy more and stopping the endless asset hoarding by the rich, which prices out everyone else. If France taxes the rich, they might be able to persuade the rest of the European nations to do the same. Then it might become effective for once.
