"Your #NoKings marches are cute, but nothing is going to change until we do something serious, like a general strike."

@maxleibman The Venn diagram of this and "person who does not know even a single union member" is a circle.

Seriously if you want a general strike you need, *at a minimum,* 3-5 major national unions on board. E.g. the leadership of the Teamsters, UAW, SEIU, UFCW, the teachers, nurses, flight attendants etc. There's a tremendous amount of behind the scenes coordination required. "Just don't go to work on day X" is not a strike. A strike is a focused action with a defined goal.

@liferstate @maxleibman I do hope people are working on that because the no Kings performances are useless.

@chris @liferstate @maxleibman We really do take the shortest path to irony around here.
