Someone in my mentions is yelling that we need to Take To The Streets and it& #39;s like. *deep breath*
Ok. You gonna organize it?

These calls for a General Strike don& #39;t work. Or at least not in my area?
Here& #39;s what would happen if I stopped showing up to work: 80% of my co-workers would still show up because I live in a Republican covid-denying belt, and I& #39;d be fired.

Strikes work when *everyone* participates. How are you gonna get high participation when we& #39;re not even sure we have the popular vote in the bag?
Strikes work when you have a fund to protect the vulnerable. How you gonna ensure everyone doesn& #39;t starve to death or die from healthcare issues when we& #39;re not being paid?
Strikes are not a magical self-organizing thing that instantly drives change. The employers will push back and try to break us. And too many of us are already at a breaking point.
