Eat the rich

OK, folks,
I don't often post in this fashion, but I can't remain silent any longer.
For those Federal workers who have been furloughed, and those who have been laid off, I have a suggestion. STOP PAYING YOUR CREDIT CARD BILLS. Go ahead, pay your mortgage bill. Pay pay your utility bills, Even pay your car payment, but don't even LOOK at your unsecured (credit card) bills. When the "Big Boys" start of get hit, things WILL change. They will go to the pResident, and say Hey, look, you're killing us".
We still have power over the billionaires, but only by our ability to band together. A hit to the pocketbook is all they understand.
They count on us littles, we common folk, to follow the rules, The rules that the billionaires don't feel the need to follow, much less live by.

The oligarchs want us to be obedient sheep, and take what they feed us as gospel, while they run roughshod over our needs as "just dust in the wind". Well I , for one, am tired of it. There is no need to monetize human decency. We littles can take care of ourselves, and let the greedy folk rot on the vine.
Join the protests, carry the signs, but most of all, "DON'T PAY THE UBER-WEALTHY FOR BEING ASSHOLES"

1. They will just sit back and wait while late charges and 28% interest keeps compounding n/t

2. Credit card companies love when that happens

Late fees, interest $$

There are people out there right now who wish they COULD make their credit card payments this month...

3. This a very bad idea.

They can, and will, put a lien on every thing you own.

4. Bad idea. If anything, the credit card companies

HATE those of us (including yours truly) who pay their credit card bill in full every month. They can't make money off us.

5. Just stop using your credit card for everyday little transactions. Save it for large cash amounts like new tires,

emergency auto repair, new fridge, fix the roof etc. . starve the banks of their transaction fees. I'm seeing more and more signs in small businesses that say they are adding 3-4% to credit card transaction to offset the bank fees. Making the consumer pay for it.

If you can. I repeat, If you can, (I know some people can't, don't yell at me.) payoff your CC at the end of each month. The banks hate that. The banks refer to people that pay their CC off each month as deadbeats because you are using their money for free for 30-days.

Do not underestimate the power and leverage of your consumer dollar. Shutting the spending down is one of our biggest weapons and we have yet to apply in force. All it takes is participation. Our votes can only be used every 2-4 years. Your consumer dollar has power 24/7 - 365.

Make the orange one late night squeal about no one spending money. Shutting down Christmas spending would really piss him off.

Let MAGA spend their money to keep the economy afloat.
