    fr though, and I keep saying this, but we can literally end this shit show now if we all just fucking picked a day to not go to work for one lousy day when we know congress and dumbass are at DC and we just strike/protest en masse outside until they surrender. They have long abandoned doing anything meaningful for the people. Like if we can get all of DC to just stop for a day, bam.

      That’s precisely why organized labour has been systematically dismantled in the US. Back in the day there were strong unions, mutual support groups, and so on. These systems are key for workers to be able to take collective action like general strikes.
