The calls for a nationwide (US) shutdown this Friday (Jan 30) are growing louder

Another weekend protest to minimize its own effect
It’s on a Friday. Aren’t weekends Saturday and Sunday?
Not according to my Minnesota food service employer that requires that I work every weekend (Friday-Sunday) or else get fired. Also, a LOT of places here do 4x10s (or at least give you the option) so the weekend is kind of Friday-Sunday
Fair. I don’t work in an M-F 9-5 industry either. I’ve never heard of 4x10. Is that a food service thing?
No, it’s not usually a food service thing. It’s usually a manufacturing or an office thing. 4 day work week, ten hour days. 4x10s.
Right on! In nursing, some of us do 3.5 x 12 (3 shifts one week, 4 the other). I like it!

Perfect is the enemy of good.

The United States lacks a lot of organizing structures compared to other countries, as well as lacking the social safety nets. Let this be a stepping stone rather than a point for derision.

Perfect is the enemy of good.

and with half ass efforts you continue your slide into fascism and drag the world down with it

So what are you doing about it then?
Since I am not Murican, I am boycotting anything USA and keeping fascism out of my country
Cool, then keep your half assed opinions to yourself until you can do more too, smoothbrain.

so? you are expecting the rest of the world to solve this mess for you?

Talk about entitled Muricans

No, I’m saying that you’re saying what we are doing isn’t enough,as if you’re doing anything at all.

Talk about entitled ignants.

So you screw the pooch and all your neighbours are catching the shit storm… yet we are not even allowed to voice concerns about your dumpster fire that you are barely paying attention to… got it

Wow. Lots of assumptions there. I’m so glad that someone that doesn’t live here is so much better informed about what’s going on in my backyard that they can tell I don’t know anything.

I would say ‘get’ fucked, but that would mean someone has to suffer your bullshit. Go back to .ml you fucking ostrich.

you keep on throwing insults and yet have not backed up any point you are trying to make…

Best of luck with your, only after 2 pm on Friday protest, maybe this time they won’t murder more of you on the streets

You’ve backed up no point either, and acting like you know it all about someone else’s politics better than they do. You’re virtue signaling to do better when you literally have no power to do so.

How is boycotting US goods doing anything. You already don’t pay the costs of tariffs, we do. You’re screaming about somebody else’s problems and acting like the resistance we’re actually doing is doing nothing. Alright well what are you doing about it besides metaphorically complaining that you’re neighbors are loud?

I’ll keep throwing insults as long as you keep your head so far in the sand, you’re teasing bedrock.

Get off your high horse and through away your robes and gavel. You’re literally a parasite.

You’ve backed up no point either

My point is that you are holding marches on weekends… the post is my backing… it’s called for Friday after 2 pm and, if it works like the last one, it will spill over to Saturday and Sunday but not Monday

By now, you should be having general strikes everywhere, not weekend marches

How is boycotting US goods doing anything

Trump only listens to rich people… Some rich people are losing money and whining about it

You’re screaming about somebody else’s problems and acting like the resistance we’re actually doing is doing nothing.

Not nothing… just not enough considering the stakes

I’ll keep throwing insults as long as you keep your head so far in the sand, you’re teasing bedrock.

I know, you have no point to make and are just flailing around in frustration

You’re literally a parasite.

LOL that one doesn’t even make sense… unless you are with your dear Leader, the Pedophile in Chief, that Canada only lives because you let us

PS: kindly fuck you and clean up your mess

And yet people like you still can’t commit to it
