      A general strike would be devastating. But we ain’t there yet.

      Not that I don’t love the idea. It requires a robust support network. Start building a small local community that can be self sufficient. Grow food. Make tools. Sell things to neighboring communities.

      The owners will still expect rent during a general strike. We have the numbers, they have the funds to we wait us out. They’ll do everything they can to make it hurt us more than them.

        A 1-week strike ahead of the mid-terms would be enough to make the GOP turn on Trump.

        But that’s over a year out.
