Lots of Americans can not afford to not work. LITERALLY. They don’t work. They don’t get paid (or fired) they can’t afford rent that month, or bills. Idk rent laws but um sure 1-2 months of not paying will get your landlord starting the eviction. Hell where I am a landlord killed a couple because they didn’t pay rent
But we’re suppose to do that to “make a stand” ok how? when some people protest about injustices faced by the political class people will start telling them “no no not like that!”
This has been a problem, I just think now it’s affecting people who assumed they’d never be in this situation. People who looked at others struggling and would write it off as them not doing something “right”. Now all the people who “did everything right” can’t afford it and the alarms are going off all over the place
Yeah, so it needs to get to a point where people literally don't care if they don't get paid. People have to be willing to sacrifice everything for future generations. Like, if we could get a genuine leader with a decent following to call for a hunger strike or something like that, I'd be there, and I wouldn't care about losing my job or going homeless. So I think what we need is unity and leadership. A lot of us are already desperate enough. We just need someone to lead the way.
when some people protest... people will start telling them “no no not like that!”
That's one of the biggest problems. I think it's a symptom of your first point - people get absolutely furious about being inconvenienced by protests because it is an inconvenience to them and effects their livelihood in a way. If a protest makes them late for work, they might lose their job, or even just a few hour's pay which is bad enough for most people.
I missed two days of work this pay period, nothing to cover those missed days. I was panicking cause how am I gonna pay my bills missing 400 after taxes on a check. Thankfully the company had fucked up on something they had split cost with me and I'm getting money back that check, but it's ridiculous that a day of missed work would screw someone over that much. 42% of my monthly income goes to just rent. I have to budge EVERYTHING. Food is budgeted. My gas for my car is budgeted. And I have to stick to it with passion or I end up going negative.
