There's been some chatter on why we can't have a one-day national consumer strike [View all]

My contrarian take on the subject is that we don't need to. Using my household as an example, we are covering ongoing costs and have made no major purchases outside of a couple of repair work items since Jan. 20th. In the meantime, we are stockpiling the liquidity as a bulwark against what is inevitably going to happen by Q4.

If millions of individual households adopt this strategy, it will have far more consequences than a one-day strike and will sink the fucking pedophile's numbers even further.

And based on the reporting I’ve seen—it’s already underway.
