[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because not going to work, which will cost you personally in either lost wages or in expended paid leave, or by reducing business income for a day, will actually lead to a change in government policy? What a bizarre and irrational presumption. Why does the government care if you go to work or not? Nor does the government care if you spend money. The linkage between employee/consumer behavior and government policy in this way is totally absent. [/quote] Then what's your plan? I love how people crap all over someone else's organizing. General strikes have been effective in many places, but the US doesn't have a history of them. This may be that start of that as we've got a federal executive branch out of control, a weak Congress that isn't listening to the people or standing on any principles, and a glacial and politicized judiciary. You gotta start somewhere.[/quote]
