Running at half capacity today during wildcat strike.
Incidentally, I did some reading about general strikes and was surprised to find out about the Philadelphia general strike in 1920. Now these were people who knew how to fight back!

Rethugs, Liebertarians and other corporate whores have spent 60+ years vilifying unions and other representatives of working people (ACORN) as well as playing on whatever hatreds they could evoke to neuter the kind of unity that resulted in truly effective general strikes like the one you note. They’re banking (heh) on the fealty of their political creatures to keep the lid on, now that they’ve truly fucked everyone to the point that their divisive schemes and lies just aren’t working anymore. It’s really become difficult to blame some minority when the only minority left is the 1%.
