Feeling helpless? Join the GENERAL CONSUMER STRIKE. We need to hold the American economy hostage until basic demands are met.
1) The president must respect the rule of law
2) The president must acknowledge free speech and the power of the Judiciary
If we don't spend, the economy slows...and more people don't spend.
Voters care about $$$s.
Tech Bro’s understand only the language of $$$
I
--Please buy only necessities. Food, utilities, medicine.
--Sell American stocks if you can.
--Postpone travel and renovations if you can (or drive and spend $$s in Canada!)
Right now, Trump is defying the Judiciary and flirting with a constitutional crisis. But, we are not powerless....we have the power of the purse.
We regularly boycott countries that will not respect our values. America has become one of those countries...threatening our neighbor's sovereignty, extorting from those under attack, showing no respect for the rule of law or basic civil rights. Engage in this potent legal form of protest.
Will this hurt everyone? Yes. Trump has declared war on our legal system and constitution. War hurts.
HOW WILL WE SURVIVE AN ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN?
--Give what you can to neighbors and food banks
--Join the gift economy through local sites like Buy Nothing and Nextdoor.
--Ask neighbors and friends for what you need.
Please post, share, spread the word any way you can and stop the shredding of our Democracy.
Thanks, stay strong and keep fighting. We are in this together.
Thanks for your comment. My variation is to patronize smaller business and avoid larger businesses except those that are standing up to Trump or making support of the middle class / working class a major value. I am avoiding credit cards when I can (they are owned by major banks) as well as wealthy businesses that pay their CEOs more than 25 times the average wage of their employees, see https://aflcio.org/paywatch/company-pay-ratios. am avoid the most evil people (in my opinion) - Trump, Musk, Murdock and their businesses. What are others doing?
Thanks Nat. Time for phase 2!
