Reply #26: So explain to me how, exactly,

shifting the date of purchase of your goods from Friday to Sunday is going to change anything at all.

Invoking the French strikers doesn't actually answer the question. They are striking--that is to say, they are providing an economic incentive for their demands to be met. If you have a one-day no-buy "strike," people will just buy their stuff the next day, and the corporations will make the exact same amount. There's no parallel whatsoever.
