1. Once you surpass that proverbial 3.5 percent

threshold of pissed-off Americans in the streets at demonstrations, you'd have a better-than-even shot at a successful general strike. Just my 2 cents.

2. The GOP have already started a general strike.

Why!

3. Is it a one day thing? If no is there a strike fund?

It’s hard to get people to sign on if they fear they’ll lose wages.

4. That's always going to be a problem, I fear.

7. Ok well this is why people need to PLAN.

Slogans mean fuck all. In European countries, there are general strike funds. You can’t organize if workers can’t afford it.

5. Several unions are aligning their contracts to end at the same time -- in 2028. Beyond that, what organizing has been for

a general strike? If you can’t answer that, we’re not ready.

6. What are the demands?

[BigmanPigman]

8. Great question!

We definitely need to be specific yet all encompassing.

9. Just like No Kings...

All it will be is just another festival/telethon/show.
