It's one of those things that sounds great, but very difficult to execute. How large would it need to be to be effective?

I don't think very effectively in the US.

I love the idea.

Most people can't afford to take sick days.  So how's this supposed to work?

Sacrifice and risk if you don't have a union.

Humanity is in a war of redistribution of power, wealth, and fame from one society to another while all the time those responsible for causing the fight are never accused and believed to be the ones that are fixing the problems.


But that is what makes characters believable and genders playing the role worthless.

People who willingly vote to help the rich are morons.

The rich just throw Jesus and protecting babies to the sheep and they get whatever they want. Most people are idiots. 

It’s astounding that there hasn’t been a general strike in this country for decades.

Do you vote to hurt the such David?

The closest I've ever come is voting for Bernie Sanders.

England hasn't had a revolution in 500 years but they have had some general strikes, and they are regarded as one of the most pliable countries in Europe. Those strikes won them some concessions....But those were over labor conditions. There would have to be a coalition of those morally opposed to this administration with those who are economically harmed. 

Mass protests sure but I have no reason to go on a strike.

Or just vote. I'd be happy with 70% of eligible voters.

Are the other 30% your bowel movent?

I can't strike because I don't work and and am not even in the US, but I would be happy to come back and protest.

Define the rich?

Yall should stick to simple things like boycotting Chick-fil-A.  It's working too because I didnt have to wait too long in line today.

I boycott Chick fil a because the food fucking sucks.  

 

That's some plain-ass shit that only the whitest of white people would like. 


It's horrible.

Who could I possibly vote for in large elections that isn’t helping the rich?

and what is the goal of this strike?

If it's on the table, I'm listening.

But how would it work?

The threat of a national strike scares the shit out of the people in power.  The more it’s talked about, the more fear they have.

They should be afraid. 

A government should be afraid of its people, not the other way around.

Keep talking it up I say, even if it doesn’t happen.

But have a clear red line.  Like if Rosenstein or Mueller is terminated.

We have record lows in  unemployment across race and gender metrics... and y'all callin for a strike?

Ok. Only the unemployed go on strike.

I love it!  leftist logic.   I mean, some of these folks have been working for all of 5 minutes and we're talking strike.   LOLz.

 

Who solves the strike?  The Feds???  Lolz.

 

It's as if someone found Coach Klein's magic green playbook and see some neat plays from yesteryear.  "Hey let's run this and see what happens..."  regardless of the circumstances or realistic outcome.

Read a fucking book.

The unemployment rate in the USSR was 0%.

Jobs do not make a country, they enslave it.

Edited by Hugo Stiglitz

USSR had 100% employment?  besides they ones who weren't murdered?

 

Why do y'all fucking hate what works?

 

Jobs don't make a country, but they feed it.  Y'all decry all of the afflictions of humanity and take course to absolutely avoid solving them.

 

People are literally dying to get here to work... and you bitches think you're being mistreated.

 

If you want more money:  Take on more responsibility and/ or improve your skill set.  It's a tried and true winner.

Lol you think it’s about money 

why do people take jobs?

 

and yes, I understand straight cash( Thank you, Mr Moss)  is not the only measure of compensation.

 

Not enough lube and porn to get through the week?

 

I would agree that many of you like disruption of shit way more than actually achieving anything.  So I'll concede your point.

 

next question:  why?

Edited by slorch

The government is literally kidnapping children now and choosing not to return them.

This is a certificable fact.

How far down this road do we go?  

Their goal the whole time is to get people not to care.  They literally messaged that yesterday.

Fix the laws.

 

Enforce them properly.

 

or:

 

Disolve the borders.  Grant asylum to every swinging dick.

You sound like you are about to go an hero.

Dissolving borders isn't a realistic answer any more than prosecuting everyone who crosses the border. There was no planning in the policy change that was made and they are now scrambling after the fact under the weight of all these people and their lack of forethought.  I don't know about a strike an organized mass protest would send a message.

This debate isn’t about immigration law.  That’s what they everyone to discuss.  

This is about state sponsored terrorism straight up.  They are persecuting and abusing children in the name of law and order and “national security”.  It’s an abomination that should be rejected with whatever peaceful power can be found by anyone willing to use it.

If this isn’t confronted now, we are only giving them permission to terrorize more people and sooner or later it will be you.

But fuck that.  We need to show Trump how wrong he is.

 

The laws predated his arrival and our demigogues ran the same shit show?  Doesn’t matter.  The government is terrorizing people breaking in to our country...illegally.

 

LOlz. Nice job Hugo.  Spin, spin, spin.

I didn’t think there were a ton people in the government willing to carry out orders to kidnap kids, apparently there are plenty.

I wonder what other orders these people would follow.

I was separated fom my parents by the state when my bio parents broke the law.

 

Must have been terrorism.
