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?

    It’s not about bankrupting a single business. It’s about the delays in service and opportunity cost. Shutting down supply lines. Loss of major investments. We are talking about shutting down an entire country.

      Which is impossible with our current America unfortunately, those who do strike will likely won’t see results for a week, and many won’t strike even if they want to due to the wages

      If these billionaires cared about money and they truly cared about it then they would have made programs to give wealth back and to have them use it on themselves to grow themselves

      They want power, like right now where most go hungry some go homeless from striking only once, they got what they need.

        I don’t need you to tell me it’s impossible. The only people you’re serving right now are the billionaires. If you want to fall for the lie that they hold all the cards go ahead but I know it’s the people who have real power.
