I'm all for it, and have been for years. @willbunch has called for this in multiple columns, and yet it got nowhere.
Let's hope this time it takes hold.

Unknown parent • • •@avuko This is why I'm on a permanent #SpendingStrike in which, as far as possible, I avoid, redirect or postpone any spending that goes to the corporations that are killing us all.
I've also seen a call for a #BuyNothingDay on Feb 28. There's room for all sorts of different plans.
Things like this offer individual side benefits (e.g. delicious homegrown food, or money spent on a beautiful piece of local art instead of on an over-engineered appliance) that exist independently of the core objective.

TC Won't Give In To Lies
in reply to Dr. Joanne Klein • • •Exactly!
If we learned anything from Greta and the various Eastern Europe protests, it takes sustain and regular protests to keep from being ignored.
A shutdown every two weeks until the #AmericanClownEmperor resigns, or at least behaves normally, could work ...over about a year.

ECONOMIC BLACKOUT ON FEBRUARY 28, 2025
TAKE PART & SHARE THE NEWS
If you haven't heard, there will be an economic blackout Febuary 28th, nationwide. This means don't buy ANYTHING unless it's from a small business: No gas, no fast food, and definitely nothing from places like Target, Walmart, or Amazon. Get the word out!
We want THEM to see that WE have the power. We will start with 1 day, then 3, then specific companies until our message is heard.
Please spread the word!
Thank you!

I shamed nobody. But you are right now.
Geez.
You clearly don't follow me or read my posts.
I followed up by saying, if it's impossible to miss a day, then of course, but most can miss a day. This is our entire existence/democracy we're talking about here. Sadly, we need to take risks we'd never take. & clearly I'm not asking anyone who can't to do f'ing anything. BACK OFF.

in reply to Madeleine Morris • • •Geeze, I'm glad I didn't post that it's a Saturday, which I was going to, in case someone got their dates wrong, because obviously a shutdown midweek would have a greater effect. I'm retired, but when I worked it was M-F. Sometimes people (I'm neurodivergent) are just trying to be helpful, not nefarious. Y'all didn't need to jump down their - @Edelruth - throat for making a comment!

Unknown parent • • •@stib Americans do not say, "Let's have our election on a Tuesday." Most would rather there be a holiday or a weekend vote.
This was a law passed ages ago for reasons that made sense then. Not now.

As for Saturday, guessing they thought it would be a safer choice for the first effort at a general strike. Fewer people w/ jobs at risk. I see nothing wrong with that.

I donโt care which weekday you think is right or wrong, this is already underway. We need to support it, not bash it.
NO day is a โlame choice.โ EVERY action is a good one.
If youโre not happy with it, like I said, organize another one. We need it. We need a lot more of it.
And speaking of attitude, maybe rethink your own choice of words.
See ya.

in reply to Laffy • • •I thought there was some agenda I wasn't aware of yet. It sounded fancy.
Yes, a general strike is a good idea.
(Just make sure there is a plan for afterwards. Or if it fails.)
