I'm willing to go protest in DC for a few days on end with little sleep and nutrition if I know it will bring a change, but I can't afford to do that if it doesn't change anything, it's not financially possible.

Maybe we do some type of strike then. In the sense that it’s something we really can just do from home. Maybe we choose a few things: all streaming services. All Amazon. All movies. We just commit to, say, 60 days of community. Games. We did this in the pandemic and it decimated business. Why not?

It needs to be about Washington DC. It needs to be about the White House. It needs to be about Trump. He has to be stopped. Going to Washington DC and not your job, that's the kind of strike I want.

Congress is not sitting right now. It doesn’t have to be DC: it can be in front of each cowardly rep’s office.

That’s true! Can’t it be both? There are some folks who cannot afford to leave their job. The same people struggling to make rent are maybe people who can afford $19.99 a month in Netflix. Their month or two of forbearance when coupled with people who can afford to skip work AND nix Netflix? 🤩
