General strike for days at a time or weeks, or rolling on day strikes all will have an impact ,,, the strike over Amazon prime days looked like shopping was down 40% according to some report: that’s significant!
Prepare for long haul, prepare for sacrifice, and be clear why you make the choices you make. As for me, it’s this experiment in freedom and government by the Will of the people, it’s the republic, a democratic republic, that means diversity learning to live a unifying way; it’s the Constitution as it is written. It’s ours, we get to prove it by reclaiming it from these fraudulent hoodlum thieves.
Thank you for your patience in my response—I was with family this weekend and am just catching up.
I really appreciate your thoughtful and passionate reply. You’re absolutely right: a general strike, whether rolling or sustained, can have real impact—especially when it's targeted and visible like the Amazon Prime Day action you mentioned. A 40% drop in spending? That’s not nothing. That’s power.
But as you said—it takes sacrifice. And it takes preparation. I think a lot of people are ready in spirit, but not yet in logistics. Organizing a strike of that scale means planning for childcare, lost income, transportation, and basic safety nets—especially for our most vulnerable. That’s where I’d love to see groups like Indivisible, 50501, or even labor unions step in, coordinate, and help carry the weight. Imagine if we had not only a strike, but a movement that wrapped its arms around people and made it possible to participate.
You nailed it with this line: “diversity learning to live a unifying way.” That’s the heart of this struggle. We’re not just resisting—we’re insisting on something better. A republic that actually lives up to its ideals. Thank you for reminding me that reclaiming our democracy isn’t just a fight—it’s an act of faith.
