    They also tried to organize it with like 12 minutes of notice.

    I get that it’s urgent, but if you don’t give people time to even get groceries ahead of time, you can’t really have a large-scale strike lasting longer than an afternoon.

      Don’t pay a capitalist for the food and it doesn’t count. This factoid is for able-bodied privledge havers.

      Playing by the rules slave-takers make won’t stop the police from destroying your life for fun.

      Also planting food scraps in a gallon jug today will help with the next strike. However we need.

      You all are missing the point. The Govt has systematically dismantled our labor unions, and labor unions typically call for strikes. It’s not about convenience: It’s about the ability to organize and the guarantee of a number of people participating.

      Edit: sorry chillidog, i meant this as a response to the person above you.
