When you add covid, climate, the antiwork movement, lack of social progress, political drama, something has to break.

There is high resentment towards capitalism and how it is being managed, and I'm not really surprised people are quitting like this, I don't even understand how can normal people hold all those jobs and deal with the stress etc.

Personally I think advocating for a general strike would help "shuffle the cards" again.

I really feel like 2008 "postponed" a political adjustment that should have happened but did not.

It's really weird to be chronically unemployed and watch this "great resignation" phenomenon.

With such a broad spectrum of issues, what would a general strike even call for?


Basic income.

It seems to be a silver bullet to a lot of problems.

Once you give a blank check, you can also remove a lot of administrative clutter designed to "control" and police the poor.


Universal income, health care, and day care
