A question for my D.U. neighbors. [View all]

You ready for Saturday I’m ready. Do these marches work i think they do send a message. Yet i wonder if a national strike would send a stronger signal and the oligarchs can’t buy their way out of a nationwide strike.
Most recently look at Disney and how they backed off not because it was the correct thing to do it was all over the dollar.
Three of us here will be going together and as before we have our gear packed and ready.
Goggles
Water
First aid supplies
Face rags in case of gas
Closed toe foot wear
I find some humor in that the three of us will be riding in my friend’s mini van to peacefully protest and we’re old ages 59-60-62.
My friend who is age 60 said bro I’m taking my fluid pill early like 04:00 so it’s through me. I replied once again you 19-Kilos are geniuses compared to us 11 bravos.
And yet we all are in agreement after we protest these parasites . We will hold our after operation debriefing at this Italian bakery for cannolis and coffee.
Hopefully they will not be sold out of pastries as it will be in the afternoon. If no pastries then plan B chicken parm off of the hot bar.
Be safe friends.
