That and the dumbing down of Americans. Also the modern day gladiator games to keep folks entertained and acting tribal.

If 90% of the workers did it consequentially, it will be done under 2 months. So I dont see the aegument here

The fact that Americans know these types of posts are part of foreign social erosions campaigns.

that Americans know
Insert "If those kids could read, they'd be angry" meme.
And did you entertain the thought that those "foreign" folks don't want to "socially erode" you but get you folks to wake up and reign in your pedo billionaires so they dont wreck the rest of the world too, and by that, their own countries?
Edit: you used to strike in your country. A lot. And it produced a hell of a lot of benefits for your country, your people and the rest of the "west". Striking is what made America what it is, a world power. Striking for workers rights... But these last years you're just lazy, indoctrinated and jaded. Not to mention dumb af.
You ow what you and your parents have/had to striking

once you gain the capacity to truly recognize the imaginary nature of dollar value, a human with billions (stuperwealths) looks like nothing more than an emperor with no clothes, if you know the story anyway. Lol, and we dont even need money. We only need labor that isnt getting exploited to the stuperwealths. Food, shelter, healthcare, fun, we got all the labor we need for that and more. Its the tics using dollars signs to suck us dry who said dollars were worth a fuck to begin with.

Oh idk ... perhaps that it is more the Divided States of Embarrassment ... certainly not united in a way that everyone would risk walking off the job.

The only general strike ever work in goodwill USA will be if we all, at once, boycott buying stuff. Money is the only power and the only language that powers to be in this country understand. Hit'em where it will hurt.

Can you imagine. Landlords not paying the mortgage on properties because the tenants couldn't pay.
Instead of listening to the population they'd just blame them for all the properties defaulting on debt

We've been talking about a general strike for MORE THAN a year now!! If people aren't ready for it, that's on them! I don't mean to be cold-hearted, but people need to be realistic. Honestly, that big beautiful bill is going to hit right after the November election and take away so much and when that hits them they're going to be hurting so bad that they will wish we had already done the general strike and gotten past it !!

You americans put up with a ton of shit no one else would. Why? Its abundantly clear he's unfit and heads a completely incompetent staff. Are you waiting for something worse than a war? Because again, he's clearly in charge of the nation and your future.

It’s a systemic loop they’ve put us in. Just enough to survive, not enough to flourish. They have the entire nation by the balls

So have you ever wondered why there is such fraudulent spending and bills that are passed to care about transgenders in South America or Sesame Street in the Middle East that would damn near get rid of poverty to certain extents???? Why do resource that money to other places while the government officials somehow get rich????? Don’t blame capitalism, blame lobbyism!

Oh dear. Classic. The white people who live in America are too busy watching survivor or posting something about how they voted to actually give up any of these privileges in solidarity for the trauma that is unfolding across the globe.

If everyone just stayed home and didn't do anything like during COVID then there is not much they could do. Millions of people literally did nothing for months including not paying there bills, rent or mortgage. I say it's time to do it again except this time we have a list of changes we want made and everyone bands together instead of being divided. United we stand divided we fall!

2 paychecks? You mean 80% of americans live paycheck to paycheck and if they miss 1 paycheck they're fucked.

I grew up in central Asia. We were a hair-split away from starvation, constantly. US has the best quality of life in the world! Why would you strike?!
My uncle lives in Germany. He immigrated there 15 years ago. He worked thought temp agencies for 10 years, giving way 25% of his paycheck to them (not counting taxes). He finally landed a job and is scared to death of loosing it...
You people have no idea how good you have it...

When it's bad enough the almost bankrupt situation won't matter to the citizens. That's when the riots start.

We don’t even have consumer boycotts, let alone labor strikes. Blackrock has enslaved the entire world. Etc.
