Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I tend to find calls for a general strike laughable and unrealistic, so believe me when I say this is an amazing article. The general strike being referred to here would be a targeted effort by some unions spanning industries. Fain cleverly surmises that would bring the country to a halt. He recognizes that you don't need a ton of people. You don't need much to clog up the works, and I think it's actually better this way. Other sectors and industries will gradually be effected by those striking, which creates even more pressure for companies to concede to union demands. It's a domino effect.
The author deserves a lot of credit here. He isn't just waffling, there's a lot of substance. Other progressive publications would do well to view this as a prime example. This author has written a very logical and sensible article, where others tend to write fluff pieces which feel like campaigns and preaching.
