Gon be a Spirit Halloween by next year

Oh, well those are a given. If you didn’t have crippling anxiety and depression in 2026, THEN I’d be really concerned.

Glad you’re doing (mostly) well :)

Bro, like, go easy on yourself. The rest of the world is ready to eat you up. Don’t join them in the feasting.

It’s a start. Do we think those 6 states would join a general strike? Maybe the goal shouldn’t be a nation-wide strike per se, but a coordinated strike across consistently blue (city, state, fed), high-population regions. That way, the conversation shifts from “it can’t happen” to “where does it need to happen”.

Serious request: I don’t have any background in political science. Can someone help me work through this hypothetical situation?

Blue politicians call for a general strike to protest the activities of the Trump administration. Let’s assume everyone in the country knows about it.

In which states does it actually happen? What industries are most impacted? What percentage of the adult population in those states takes part? How long does it last? What does Trump do in retaliation to those states? Is it effective?
