Meanwhile Great Grandpa Bacon (The Wobblie) shakes with anger in his grave asking why Americans won’t do a general strike to shut everything down…

Easy. Nearly all Americans live paycheck to paycheck now and have a huge rent or mortgage to pay. If it can’t be done in a day or two with a high probability of success, it won’t happen until there’s a literal gun at their head.

I’m starting to think that *this* was a secondary or tertiary objective of screwing everyone on their paycheck since 1981.
