in the Bush years we had “fw: fw: re: fwd: DON’T BUY GAS ON TUESDAY TO STICK IT TO THE OIL COMPANIES”
in the Trump years it seems like we’re going to have “fill out this form with your name, email address, ZIP code and phone number, and we’ll have a general strike Real Soon Now”
there is a realistic possibility of a general strike in 2028, due to planning by multiple labor unions to line up their contracts to all expire at the same time.
but this? eh. I support a general strike in principle, but I’m far from convinced that this is it.
the page that lists their “leaders” has…two dozen Instagram handles. including the follower count for each one. I’m gonna need a bit more information than that. who’s actually leading leading it? if it’s gonna be successful it ain’t gonna be a committee of two dozen Instagram influencers, I know that much.
Thanks for links to 2028 info! I only posted this here because it felt like a tiny cathartic thing to do in the moment. I appreciate your thoughtful response.
