The way I see it is the ruling class helped to shape most of our systems in society ; they're the ones that turned capitalism into "cut throat capitalism / ultra capitalism"
We all need to go on a protest / strike for a week or two and demand seperation of BIG BUSINESS/Corporations and government. We need to demand affordable education, medication, health care and housing. We need to protest/ go on a strike before the AI face recognition won't allow us to. IK this will likely never ever happen, but I don't see any other way the people in US can make their demands heard. We need to stick together n share food n water for just a week or so with our neighbors, homeless ETC; with our fellow Americans*
That's not just something they turned it into, that's the inevitable result of a system where profit defines success. Because, no matter how good your product is, or how great the service is, if you don't make as much money it's not good enough.
As long as profit is the defining characteristic of our economy, this will never change.
Ye .. You're right.
A week or two wouldn’t do anything in the long term. They’d just spend the time breaking strikers’ kneecaps, because they made general strikes illegal so they’d have justification for violently breaking up any attempts.
I am saying if people who build this country and make the gears turn in the system ( truckers, farmers, ETC ) ... If they didn't go to work for a week or two; I do believe our voices could be heard. It'd halt the economy and the government would have to listen 👂 to the people who make "the world 🌎 go round" so to say ...
What law bans general strikes?
