Unions AKA organized labor often call for strikes. Our unions have been systematically undercut in the US, and as such, we have a very limited ability to organize ourselves in collective action.
You all are missing the point. The Govt has systematically dismantled our labor unions, and labor unions typically call for strikes. It's not about convenience: It's about the ability to organize and the guarantee of a number of people participating.
Edit: sorry chillidog, i meant this as a response to the person above you.
I looked it up. These were anti-union laws. I think about how quickly the French can strike, but remember that it's four to five giant labor unions that always call for them to happen. We're in dire straits here in the U.S!
That's great to hear! You're reigniting my desire to move to Montreal.... If it was a Spanish speaking city instead of French I think I'd already be there.
The video had mentioned that the city was considering more car-free summer streets. Do you know if that has that come to fruition?
Not Just Bikes on YouTube does a simultaneously loving and hateful video on Montreal biking. If I remember correctly, he basically says it's a very small region of Montreal that is bikeable, and that it's really piecemeal between neighborhoods as to what the infrastructure looks like. There was also something about disconnection from certain metro lines, but I don't remember the details on that clearly.
Also, I need to say out loud to someone that Guadalajara is in North America too... Wonder how it compares with Montreal for biking, given that they're somehow not on the same list?
Lots of people are carrying whistles to blow if they see ICE, with the effect of calling more people with whistles to the scene to surround /harrass/confused ICE, and additionally warning neighborhoods of ICE presence.
https://www.generalstrikeus.com/ forget initiating bloodshed, sign a strike card. In a world of paramilitary forces and drone capabilities, this is our true power.
We in the US do not wear red hats anymore... Excepting those who are completely fucked in the head.
My dad got a red ballcap, and I told him he probably shouldn't wear it outside lest people think the wrong thing about him. Nobody wants to encourage the loonies.
I suddenly love Minnesotans. I'm not bringing past racist accusations into this, and holy cow are they doing a number on ice? Represent. You all are an inspiration.
A really amazing sixth grade math teacher I worked with had a life-size poster of Elon Musk taped to the back of her door 10 years ago. Not so much these days.....
That's true, but not having a personal reason is not the same thing as not being compelled to pay taxes... Tax season is coming up and we are poorly organized at best.
