We are in the majority. A national strike would be effective. The protests have been good, I applaud all who plan and attend them, and think it is counter-productive to sit back and criticize. I have a friend on social media who runs you tube videos about how the press is ignoring the protests. There are many of think this is happening, and I tend to agree that they are not getting the attention they deserve. A national strike would make them cover it, which is kind of the point.
