    Nah, it’s going to take more than a strike. It’s going to take something happening on Wall Street that gets you banned from forums for talking about.

      You way underestimate the power of striking in the US. Nationwide strike. I couldn’t imagine a week long strike. The impact to the economy would be staggering. Any longer then that you’re talking ending the US dollar.

        I remember how quickly and enthusiastically centrist Democrats simped for rail bosses. Like, I bet at least one of them won’t read past that first sentence before dropping at least one long paragraph of condescension.

        I think a combination of the auto workers and delivery drivers striking would probably do it. And the teachers. Society would collapse.

      I really hope not. I fear that any violence will only doom us to prolong the mass hatred and suffering going on right now.

      Realistically, historically, and regrettably, you may be right.
