57. A strike would show

resistance, but if any think that it will affect the Corporations, it will not.........The effect to the corporations will be minimal.
Hell if they all lost total revenue for a day, it wouldn't come near the amount of money they have received in tax cuts by Trump, with the promise of more to come.........

I always enjoyed lists of Corporations to Target...........the list became so immense, that many finally realized it was ALL the corporations, and if you didn't buy from any Right Wing/Religious corporation, you wouldn't be able to buy anything.....LOL

The Dem Politicians should have gone all out in a revolt in 2010 when the USSC backed the Republicans with
*CITIZENS UNITED*..........THEY SHOULD HAVE SCREAMED FROM THE ROOFTOPS, and BRANDED IT:
*CORPORATIONS AND OLIGARCHS UNITED*.......
The Dem Politicians should have gone all in on the blatant 2000 election, or the 2004 election, or the 2016 election, etc etc etc

As I have said countless times, the perfect title for a book about the past 45+ years would be:

WHILE THE NATION SLEPT
