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

      Probably not. I work a critical local government job. Didn’t get to work from home during COVID either.

      A general strike is just not really a feasible thing. Even in a country where most people weren’t living paycheck to paycheck, you’d still have to worry about getting fired as retribution for taking part. And savings don’t last long.

      Again, I don’t know of any instance of a general strike in history. For a reason.
