GENERAL STRIKE!!! This is what the Occupy movement was born for!

[Skul]

If the unemployed go on general strike, does that mean they apply for a job?

[USA4ME]

The time they waste comtemplating movements that will never materialize has got to amount to around 99% of their time.

Building on Splashdown and Skul's point, I picked this up off of pirate4x4.com

The protesters are planning a general strike. Did they get jobs, or they going to quit not working?

(I wish I could cliam it for myself but I cannot tell a lie...)

[JohnnyReb]

YES... STRIKE ...STRIKE...strike them all about the head and shoulders.... .

[diesel driver]

YES... STRIKE ...STRIKE...strike them all about the head and shoulders.... .

...with a blunt object.   

I wonder when in May these geniuses will have their glorious "general strike"?

May 1st, perhaps?

Does this "general strike" begin after 12pm?

Probably around 1 or 1:30 they need time to hit the bong one good time before they do anything.

And goes for at least 24 business hours, or until they're just $10 away from Socialist utopia, whichever comes first.

Hey!  It's another Not One Damn Dime Day!  How's it look in your neck of the woods?  Traffic was a bitch at 7:45, everybody trying to get to work.  All the stores are open.  Oh the huge manitees! 

I see the DUmp is open for business.  They were supposed to not internet today.  I'll bet $kimmer's donate button works fine, too.

Thanks for bringing this back up, I had forgotten all about it, now I can laugh at the lack of any impact they made.

I know why there is no media coverage, all the local media people took the day off too.

too threatening to publicize

Freeper and I both have our Bugs Bunny avatars, didn't the rest of you get the VRWC memo?  

[Wineslob]

Does this "general strike" begin after 12pm?

Yes, at 4:20.

[BlueStateSaint]

Yes, at 4:20.

 

H5!

Rats! Just when the economy was starting to recover from Not One Damn Dime Day, and the Million Man March, here comes Not Another Single Damn Dime Day.

The DUmbasses are bringing TPTB to their knees.

I knew there was something "important" going on today, but just could not remember.

Well, because of the decline of the Obameconomy, its more like not one damn 7.83461 cent piece day...

We had to chain the moonbat thralls at the VRWC Super-Secret Fortress of Evilness to their workstations today, and give them bathroom breaks only under heavy guard, to keep them from bolting and joining the throngs of leftists bringing the industrialized world to a screeching halt.

Can you imagine how much panic there would have been in the VRWC Commissary if Conspirators had been forced to load up their own lunch trays this afternoon?  Oh, the huge manatee!!  I"m so happy that Lord Rove is thinking 12 steps ahead of the DUmbshits in these things.

I also heard there was a lot of unrest at the Walmart/Haliburton Underground Detention Centers across Kalifornia as well.  There must be an infiltrator somewhere, because all the detainees get to listen to while they work is Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and NASCAR.

I think they need to cut their rations and extend their work hours.  The current 16 hour shifts are leaving them with too much spare time.

You need to contact HQ and opt into the Worker Happiness Incentive Program. You can raise productivity to at least 20 hours per worker per 24 hour period.

That must be the problem.

We were operating under the Benevolent Employees Acceptance Tutelary, until it was superceded by the Production Uniform Network for Certified Henchmen.
