Stay Home for America!
 
"We're calling for a nation-wide sick-out, on March 30th! A work-stoppage might FINALLY get the point across that WE are the people who run this country, NOT the people with the money and the privilege! Let's see how they like it when things come to a screeching halt. No marching in the street. No fire-bombs. No rubber bullets. Just don't show up for work. Don't show up for school. Don't go shopping. Stay at home."

Lots of people will be happy to apply for your job after you're fired, DUmmies.  Those with a job, that is.

25. i'm in favor of any activities that might help keep the corporate
 attacks on our quality of life at bay.
a sick-out and spend no money day is good but it is not a general strike. and rather than staying at home everyone needs to be in the streets. this is what will get the attention of those in power.
people need gather in front of their local government buildings and in front of business headquarters in their neighborhoods and make their voices heard.
we must demand that the dis-credited economic policies of the past forty years be reversed and that the rich pay their share. we need to insist that our outrageous spending on defense be curtailed. and we need to throw the bums out who resist our demands.
  That's a winning strategy.  Rant and rave in front of the local dry cleaners and neighborhood pub?  What a loon. :mental:

Isn't this like about the 1,087,984th time the primitives have proposed a work-stoppage the past ten years?

I might have missed a few, so it might be more than 1,087,984.

If it's not the 1,087,984th time, it's the 1,087,985th time.  And still this one will be a complete flop.  What a hoot about the college kid cutting class!  Yeah, that'll show 'em.

Notice that this puke says NOTHING about joining in the festivities himself, just a hearty "You go, girl" to the handful of misfits who will ultimately step out of their rut on the 30th.

A work-stoppage?  I suppose these simple-minded buffoons think it's as simple as pushing a big red button on the wall.  After which, all his blue-collar brothers and sisters hoist him/her/it on their shoulders and carry them about the factory floor like some sort of hero.  At least that's how it always worked in those 80's feel-good movies.  And then they all go down to the bar for a beer.
 
Most likey, it will just result in more work for everybody else and one more unemployed DUmmy scratching it's head wondering what went wrong.

It would never work among NYS employees.  That day is a payday.

And, to the OP--that day would be called . . . "a weekday?"  Show me DUmb****s that work instead of being leeches.

That would certainly get a Hell of a lot more support all across the political spectrum than some dumbshit call for a general strike.

Ballygrl, that was one of king zero's campaign slogans.  Most people thought it unbelievably obnoxious. 

I too will be both working and shopping.  Out to dinner, too maybe.

If I were her boss, I'd call a company meeting. Ask by a show of hands, who wanted to be in the MoonBat Union, and fire everyone who raised their hand on the spot, explaining the business cannot afford to unionize and if they were that unhappy with their working conditions, perhaps they should find a union shop to work in.

Anyone still wanting to come back tomorrow with a better attitude would be welcome, no strings attached.

This might help us all.

The bottom-line is one of the few economic weapons we have against corporate rule. What we buy and who we work for effect this, as well. However, we are not yet, (emphasize yet) in concert on how to utilize our power. So, yeah, a general strike of any kind, even a token, stay home day, is really WORTH the shot. It will send a message that is hard to ignore. Kind of like a warning shot.

The problem I have here with helping to promote this is that you have to be a Facebook member to see the page. So, please do get more info publicly available early on in order that we might spread the word widely and effectively.

Everyone go on strike...I mean everyone....think about it. The power goes off, the heat/air goes out, the water runs out, the toilet backs up, you can't cook, the stores are all closed, you can't travel because of no gas....a few days of that and the DUmmies would be begging for everyone to go back to work.

Hell, I can stand it, can they?
