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.
-30F doesn’t exist here, but we get hella strong winds. A dozen MPH shy of Wyoming wind (I am blessed with excellent weather). I do not envy you that wind chill. Last time I remember the district canceling school it was flooding. Maybe fire. IDK I was shoveling sandbags or fleeing the fire, one of the two.
Really it’s people in key positions that need to do it that’ll affect the common apathetic person in the USA. What’s that, the local food places are closed? Where are they going to eat for lunch sorta thing.

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.
Then I’ve been striking for a long time.
Most schools are canceled today for the cold around me. South Wisconsin >-30°F windchill.
Rihht across the lake it is only -5, the lake warms the cold snaps like 30 degrees in these polar masses. I read -36 in wi somewhere too.
I know this is completely inaignificant but Im a math teacher and your less than sign pointing the wrong way is triggering me.
It was greater than -30 in some places…

Make the protest into a field trip?
I wish, but we take the hatch act seriously even if the turds in the top tank don’t
