Would a national general strike bring the republican controlled government to its senses on tRump
and the need for a special prosecutor? There can be only one reason that the majority of republican legislators refuse to acknowledge the need for and act accordingly on this issue. They, too, are complicit in the criminal activities that tRump has been engaging in.
It's time to stop taking this crap from our elected officials. Period, ****ing period!
Apparently someone is having a rather heavy period.

2. If it was economic. If consumers stopped spending money, the
#GreedOverPeople party would tale notice because their donors would notice.

4. Workers do not have enough
job security in the US for a strike to work.
Also, strikes and unions are very frowned upon in America.

15. The job security in the immediate term comes from.........
an unemployment rate in the mid-4s. And if it's truly a "general" strike, then a significant portion of the population would have to support it, so it would NOT be "frowned upon".
What if we replaced the strikers with...
...illegal immigrants.

5. It works in other places because their social safety nets aren't tethered to employment.
Unlike here.
They can protest because they have security. Rights just ARE there. Over here, human rights are tied to gainful employment; it's all about "dues paying" and "deserving of". That's never going to change, barring a massive deprogramming in the rural and suburban areas.
The skin color of the slaves has changed but the Dems continue to be the party of slavery where some labor to support the self-selecting elite.
