A little under 10% of the US population is unionized, and some if the most essential jobs fall under that: train shipping, trucking, port workers, healthcare, etc.
If we can prepare them to enact a general strike, the entire country would be effectively shut down.
One of the biggest unions, the UAW, was already openly planning and preparing for a general strike on may 1st 2028 (planned before trump won the election), but it’s likely we’ll have to move that up. The point is, the will is there, we just need unions to collaborate, plan, and prepare.
What the US needs right now, is a good, solid, general strike.
Sadly, I doubt that enough people are in large enough unions with large enough strike funds to do that.
