Its not a general strike, there’s just coincidentally a lot of strikes at once.
Exactly. These are the hoops organized labor has to jump through to get even a footing.
Meanwhile compare what the billionaire class is able to use for their signaling.
This came up in another thread and I am surprised it is not as well known: General strikes are illegal in the United States since 1947’s Taft-Hartley Act.

Attempts to organize and exert political and economic influence have to do so under the parameters of that act. Unions can’t support these things openly or officially without violating the act. So these things have to be called something other than a general strike to avoid persecution. They’re essentislly stripped of major legitimizing and organizing organ: labor unions, by default.
I still got my skins saved somewhere…
Lemmy communities with discord channels are really quite something.
“Pleasure cruises, golf, and tracing the family tree.”
What the authors’ retired parents did while waiting for grandkids.
A wild guess, but I’ll make it.
Nope.
Then again there are a lot of reddit repost bots here so there’s that.
Sort of. I had an account but I’d posted like 3 times one one topic in 2017. Never logged back in. Started using the terrible app in the last year but didn’t care enough to find or use a better 3rd party app.
Decided to not use it during the blackout, read a suggestion to use Jerboa app.
Haven’t looked back. How dare they take away my right to procrastinate on improving my own user experience.
It’s been a pretty clean break for me. The only times I have found myself in reddit the last few months was just for some archived post that answered a question I had.
Nothing feels like it was lost.
How nice for the Reed family/Green Diamond to be split into ‘private family owned timberland’ and ‘corporate timberland’.
