    If I missed 10 days of work it would take me a year to recover. The oligarchs are sitting pretty and they know it. It would take an army of Luigis to change anything.

      We can’t just say “General Strike” on the internet and expect anything to happen.

      This is why unions collect dues: so they can pay part of workers’ wages and people won’t lose their homes. We need to organize enough people in your workplace that your boss can’t just fire you and hire someone else.

      I am pro strike, but these pictures on the internet are just silly.

      With unions we can change things little by little. A 10 day strike isn’t long enough to be effective though…

      The goal of the strikes is to stop 10 days from ruining a person, because it never should take a year to recover that
