You have not described a mechanism by which the leftest 10% of workers staying home causes the administration to change any policy
The closest precedent we have is the 1919 strikes which ended with…yup a decade of oligarchy headed by Andrew Mellon, whose grandson is one of Trump’s biggest supporters
Don’t worry, European countries are ready to crash their economies to enact sanctions. That’s a very real and very intelligent take.
I like how seemlesly you moved from a boycott to sanctions
I replied to you hoping that other countries would perform sanctions on their biggest trading partner.
Did I mention sanctions
Oh sorry, boycotts. It is so much easier to organize massive international boycott than a national general strike.
Yes, it is genuinely much easier to get 10% of people to stop buying Tesla and using YouTube than convince 10% of people to lose their jobs and become homeless
Lots of American goods have good substitutes or are totally discretionary purchases. Look how Europe dropped Tesla. Imagine Apple, YouTube, Levi’s, etc experiencing the same crashes www.carscoops.com/2025/08/tesl...
Did these collapses for Tesla spurn any action in DC?
How is a 10% reduction in YouTube views going to force DC into action that’s not subsidies for Alphabet?
