Ukraine will definitely need a Marshall Plan to restart its economy after the war is done. Sadly, I don't think the end is near yet.

Reply to comment by snakesnake9 in France braced Monday for another day of mass protests and strikes over proposed pension reforms championed by President Emmanuel Macron, with the government and its left-wing opponents trading blame for the expected disruption. At least 240 demonstrations are planned across the country by DoremusJessup
It's not like governments have 1000 ways to raise money... Just a random idea: make weed legal and put a tax on it where the money goes specifically to the retirement fund.
Now to be more serious, Macron just lifted a corporate tax and that amount is more or less what will be missing for the retirement fund in the coming years. So you could just roll back and avoid creating the problem in the first place. We just reached full employment in France (below 5%), companies don't need to have tax relieves right now. Keep that for a time when large corporations don't register humongous yearly profits. Just common sense at this point.
