I keep seeing articles about the tech sector billionaires going mask off. I remember there being rumblings of a tech sector union. Also in the last 4 years there have been some ground gained for unions in the service sector too.

Wages are suppressed and with the looming tarrifs goods will be more expensive. Also anyone earning under 300k is going to see an increase in taxes with the proposed tax structure.

It seems around 30% of the population are really excited about Trump, 1% of that are funding efforts to support his platform. So what do the other 70% do? Do they strike?

    Strikes and related activities can come in all kinds of forms, there is no “main” kind except for what is resorted to the most. Which is good because it’s one of those “think smarter not harder” activities where wit helps more than brutality. Do you remember when the Catalonians went on strike against the government of Spain and formed a human circle around their desired independent territory? The reason we continue to talk about that today is precisely because it wasn’t just another “let’s go hit people with signs” type of thing. The Basques, another territory, are stereotyped as the opposite “extreme” than the Catalonians, and it’s not exactly a great look.
