I love the energy but not shopping for one day does nothing.
People are just going to delay their purchases. Better would be to cut all unnecessary purchases, or to be selective about where you shop. Having lower than average numbers one day and higher than average numbers the next is literally not even going to move the needle.
The work stoppage, on the other hand, is a little more promising.
How does negatively affecting businesses pressure Turmp and ICE?
It’s easier to loot and destroy those businesses if they are empty because everyone is protesting?
Oof. Lost from r/conservative?
I’ll purchase nothing on Friday in solidarity.
I wasn’t going to anyway, in fact I do all of my weekly shopping on Sunday morning. But, still.
(Do some people really find it any sort of hardship to not buy something one day a week?)
Yes. My wife is one of those people. I come home to packages on the porch every single day. Consumerism with excessive connectivity can lead to excessive spending
Love it when helping involves zero sacrifices.
No, but businesses notice when line go down. Panic ensues when the public realizes hyper-consumerism is optional.
fuck a day! do it for a week, a month!
One day won’t even slow ICE down. I bet their activities are already causing economic strain on the city now. Need to shut down until they leave.
First thing Donnie’s civilly forfeit assets need to go towards is reparations to Minnesota.
The trick is, how do tou make a statement federally without disrupting the state?
refuse to continue paying federal taxes
Cut federal taxes and wipe your ass with interstate commerce rules. Pretty sure shit would change pretty damned quick if all trade stopped moving out of California.
Oh, that’s easy. Stop doing what the feds tell you. No more federal taxes, and add in some nullification too. If other states like California, Illinois, and New York agree to help out of solidarity, threats of cut federal funding won’t hit as hard.
The problem is avoiding the difficult situation of Trump sending in some guys to shoot some people and imprison the survivors.
Sooo, a strike?
Also they are saying don’t shop or go to school. So a strike plus other stuff, it looks like.
Cant use that word. Too communist or something. Idk.
NGL, this was my first guess why they called it that.
