75. I believe you are wrong on this, the only tool we have to use against
the ruling class is to disturb their income. As you point out, isolated strikes are not that effective, but a general strike would have the effect of shutting the whole thing down and then you would hear them squeal long and loud.

Unfortunately, we have become the product of at least two generations of brainwashing to fear and mistrust our fellow citizens. This is the how and why we were transformed from citizens to consumers, and from owners to borrowers.

Our geography works in the favor of the people, the truckers themselves can bring this country to its knees in two to three days, as the entire system is utterly dependent on them to get everything needed to from the centralized corporate distribution points to the markets, and the purposeful disintegration of our rail system is incapable of picking up the slack.

Once again we see how vulnerable we have been made by our corporate overlords.
