I’ve been thinking about these 1 day strikes and no shopping days we’ve been having. The economic blackouts seem to not have much effect, I’ve seen it compared to a day of bad weather like we recently had with the snow and ice. Likewise, the 1 day strikes aren’t achieving an actual loss of revenue that is enough to lead to change. Most Americans can’t go on strike long-term as we live paycheck to paycheck, we don’t have savings and we don’t have mutual aid networks in place. Perhaps doing a nationwide slowdown would be more effective as we would actually be decreasing profits for the rich. It is something that could pick up steam instead of fizzle out. We can combine this with very clear demands instead of a general I don’t like this admin vibe

    I mean Im kinda in a slowdown anyway. im unemployed and I have never been so demotivated in my life. It takes such an effort to go into an interview smiling. I just try to talk about the job as much as possible. My consumerism is as minimal as it gets.
