    my wife is a teacher. she’s going to work because not everyone can afford to take off and a lot of folk use school as day care (and y’all shouldn’t really be taking your 5 and 6 year olds picketing against ICE when the feds are liable to use chemical weapons against you) but like, it’d be nice to just piss off and let the littles fend for themselves.

      Although the beauty of General strikes, you don’t have to go anywhere. You can stay home, you can smoke weed all day and play video games.

      A lot of unions organize strike funds, for those who can’t afford to take off, its one of the reasons why we unionize
