maybe. i’m skeptical but not opposed.

You’re not wrong. But there won’t be enough people. Too many people not willing to risk what they have for a chance at a better world.

Inb4 “doomer post” I’m trying to be realistic. It would be incredible if we could all save up a month’s worth of food and all strike for an entire week.

I think a general boycott might be more realistic. Look at Target, look at Tesla. But even then, do you think we could get enough people to stop using Amazon for a month? The only thing they care about it money, so that’s where you have to make waves.

Imo, ideally, perfect world and 100% buy-in, we would all have vegetable gardens. When someone needs a new roof it would only cost them raw materials because neighbors would come after their 9-5 to help with free labor, or if someone’s car broke down they could take to “that guy” in the neighborhood who has tools and knowledge. And he would only charge for parts because the neighborhood helped him for free with his roof. People taking care of people, not for money but because it makes the world a better place for everyone. The less people are dependent on “the system”, the less control it has over them.

I make the equivalent of $1800/month. I barely make ends meet. Every time I strike I incur a $80 deduction for the working day I skip. Sometimes I cannot afford to strike.
