What naysayers don’t get about ‘No Kings,’ the biggest protest in U.S. history
leaders with the most prominent Trump-resistance group organizing “No Kings” answered that complaint Saturday when Indivisible’s Ezra Levin took to the stage in Minneapolis and announced that a nationwide general strike is planned for May 1, modeled after a successful local action that shut down much of that region in January
Letting aside you have known this for years and never done anything about it either… this does not stop the average American from participating in their soul crushing jobs. It only seems to be a problem when it has to be done for other reasons
Americans certainly get the gold medal in making up excuses
I am from Denmark, so you are jumping to all the wrong conclusions, and using extremely poor judgement comparing a huge demonstration to going to work.
yes, because buses never go downtown… that is the least serviced area
No, soul crushing jobs have a predictable amount of people in a larger distributed area so the infrastructure is planned and built for that many people to be there. It’s mass gatherings in a centralized place (like a protest) that are underserved by our infrastructure design. This is of course intentional by the powers that be.
as if everyone in the USA, or their neighbours, or some friends would not have a car already PRECISELY because your public transportation infrastructure is horrendous
Next excuse up: “I didn’t have protest-appropriate clothes to wear”
