Citizen Strike?

[Irving]

I don?t think it would take a week for people to struggle if a fair portion of the workforce all took time off at once.

I figure if as little as twenty percent of the people that work around the clock to keep natural gas, electricity, cell phones and internet up and running took two or three days off all at the same time then everyone else would be sitting home in the dark, in the cold, with no television, phone service, or internet pretty quick and would absolutely lose their minds.

And no one would blame the government. They would blame all those blue collar Manchurian Candidates that Russia installed through Trump.

I'm prepared to do without luxuries like food and water. I just need the necessities... Coffee and broadband and I can survive just fine.

Given the number of "help wanted" signs and businesses having to close or restrict hours because of insufficient staffing, I'd say a large portion of our citizenry is "on strike" right now.

Yup. 4.3M Americans QUIT their jobs in August.

IMO those numbers seem to be divided up by 3 groups.

#1 those who believe their $3. per hour work ethic, is worth $15-$20 per hr, living wage


# 2 those who are not falling in line with wearing mask and or vaccinations.

# 3 those who are just plain fukin lazy (stoners and freeloaders) Who make bank on a daily basis, in cash.

I?m guessing we?ll see bigger numbers over the next couple of months.

Let?s go Brandon will probably pat himself on the back for all of the jobs he created once the number of openings are through the roof.

There's a cheery thought...

Oh, let's go Brandon is going to save us all from "something called the supply chain". He's negotiated the ports opening 24hr/day and allowing truckers to drive at night (don't they already?).

Dumb dumb doesn't even realize the problem isn't amount of hours operating, it's lack of workers. I don't think it's occurred to the commies that forcing people to quit is bad for the economy and country as a whole.

Or the people doing $40 an hour work but only making $20 an hour who are realizing they should be paid more or maybe realizing they can make that $20 an hour doing a less stressful job or maybe freeing up some time to actually enjoy life outside of work.

I read an article recently and it isn?t just the losers and minimum wage people leaving their jobs. Well paid people who have been at their job for many years are up and quitting as they are realizing how much more they can enjoy life when they aren?t working all the time.

There are people who have been working from home for a year plus and suddenly you are asking them to commute back and forth to an office again when they can successfully work from home and I think some of them are opting out in search of a job that lets them work remotely full time.

We are in a time of great resignation.

True. if they have been capable of working from home. Why the need to return to the office? The work from home was a "solution" to prevent the virus. Which we see how well that worked out. Anywhay why the need to get vaxxed and mask up. When the only one you're dealing with is who ever lives at home.
