[quote=Anonymous][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]

What else can we do? I have no ideas. Does anyone?  I feel so helpless as the mid- terms are a long way off.[/quote]

[b]You get what the majority vote for.[/b]  If your favored candidates and policies lose, too bad.  It's called democracy, not a tyranny of the minority.  Vote when you can, and accept that your preferences are not universal - other people want other things than you do.  That's the way democracies work.  An inability to accept that doesn't lead to a way to impose your will on others, whether through a "general strike", rioting in the streets, or by posting diatribes on social media.  [/quote]

the majority didn't vote for this.[/quote]

Does that make you feel better? Why didn’t more Democrats vote? One day strike?[/quote]
