[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 name some ways to draw attention to an overreaching federal government. If you had your way, we would all be speaking the King's english and enjoying kidney beans and yorkshire pie.[/quote]

As if there is complete ignorance that some people don't like current government policies, and this will suddenly make that apparent?  What, exactly, are you trying to draw attention to that is not already well known?  There have always been people who dislike whatever the current government is, no surprise there.  This adds exactly nothing to that awareness.  It is futile and self-defeating, because it costs proponents their day's wages.  [/quote]

Strikes draw attention to the fact that you need all parts of society. When people who are ignoring what is going on are inconvenienced perhaps they will pay better attention. As Trump has shown us all time and again, negative attention is better than no attention. [/quote]
