but like you can see the thread right

jk sorry don't have that in me truly!!!!!!! going to keep crying at this airport bar and take a nap on the plane and

entering my "it's the hope that kills you" phase

Why does it matter what an action is called, so long as people are getting involved? Every time a "general strike" fizzles out, that weakens the power of the actual mechanism. A general strike is meant to send cold shivers down the state and bosses' spines. It is a threat. It is our nuclear option.

Boycotts are necessary! Big protests are necessary! Economic blackouts are necessary! Workers calling out sick or taking time off to support these causes is necessary! Mutual aid is BEYOND necessary! But they are not strikes.

being pedantic about what is and is not a general strike isn't helpful (I'm doing my best!) but man, if we want to take these fuckers down, building power starts in the workplace. keep protesting, keep organizing, but also TALK TO YOUR COWORKERS. JOIN A UNION. then you can start talking strikes.

sucks that you used AI for this

I thought they meant the GOP house speaker in the later seasons of The West Wing (who's also named Jeff Hafley)
