On March 27, 1981, 13 million Poles (effectively every adult worker in the country) failed to show up for work at 8 AM after union activists in Bydgoszcz were beaten. In the face of that kind of solidarity, the state could do little but sputter.
Anyway, thinking about Texas A&M.

Killing Medicaid, killing vaccines, killing Social Security: It all has one purpose. The Nazis called people who required public assistance Lebensunwertes Leben: Lives unworthy of living. They had another term too, for people unable to work — Unnütze Esser: useless eaters. The elderly, the disabled.
