Time for a national strike/shutdown.
If they keep deporting workers in the facility fields then there won't need to be a strike. The country will grind to a halt all on it's own.
Yes please. For the love of God it's not too late.
I get the feeling of defeat. It sucks. But we must come together and stop this fascist takeover before it's too late, whether you're a conservative, liberal, or leftist we need to join hands and fight for a nation for the people. Luigi was a right leaning libertarian.
Seriously, the train has left the station and if we don't derail this train now it's going to mean we're finally handing all of our remaining power to self important narcissistic billionaires. America isn't for sale and it's not a business, it's our home, it belongs to us. These gross conmen pricks who think they know more than us because they got lucky in life think they can just take everything away by force.
How exactly would that help? Destroying the economy and defunding the government seems to be the Republican platform, why would we help them?
This is what I'm waiting for someone to articulate. I work in the cannabis industry - we have nothing to do with Republicans and the Federal government already hates us. What would our workers striking accomplish? It'd only hurt our company and thus more likely to hurt Dems than R in the long run.
I would have articulated it on the general strike posts that float around Lemmy sooner but some of them ban me for insulting Xi Jinping and Putin.
Sorry how would that help us? GOP already destroying industry and dismantling government services, I'm not going to help the GOP.
Haven't you noticed that many "industries" are actively working to dismantle government? This isn't like dynamiting a pond to obtain a fish for dinner. You select your targets. You shift your buying to non-corporate entities., like a National Black Farmer near you. You use a bike instead of a car, when you can. You prepare your own food instead of going to McDonalds. You slow down at work. You develop a like-minded community and help your neighbors. You grow a garden. Maybe you start your own business.
Yes, businesses and government ideally are naturally opposed, which is why a general strike in context of a US political protest does fuck all.
You won't just hurt all the bad people, you will hurt the good people as well. Some people will die when certain supply chains get disrupted but I guess thats a sacrifice you're willing to make.
