This pod has long argued the US labor movement does not have the means or organization to start a general strike.

The catch is, we are currently in the sort of conditions that would make it incredibly easy for the Powers That Be to blunder their way into triggering one through a combination of malice & stupidity. The railworkers are one excellent example of how that might happen.
