Just all stop going to work. Like in France. Just all go hang out in the park for a day or so.

We should consult the French on the possibilities of a general strike.

I was hanging out (visiting) in Paris during their strikes. Garbage was lining the streets. Trains ran whenever. Police and military all in the streets. Restaurants boarded up during the protests in the areas where people gathered. It was very well organized. 1/2

2/2 It clearly made the point at the time. Unfortunately, France did end up extending the retirement age, but in a more thoughtful manner. Via le 🇫🇷 Protests are effective!

There are too many people who are so frikking myopic that they don't see this as an effective tactic. Even tho it IS probably the only thing that will BE effective.

How long can people go without getting paid? Will they do it?

Start with 1 day. It's the number of people who down tools that would matter. But if you call for a general strike and nobody shows, you're worse off. So planning is everything.
