The person I replied to was talking about staying on strike until the situation changes significantly. That is not something a parent can afford to do.
Or were you offering to buy food for their children?
“It sucks” is a very far stretch from “my 3-year-old hasn’t eaten in 2 days”.
All you’re telling me so far is that you have no real experience in being responsible to provide care for other people, which means that you have no business telling other people what they can or can’t afford in their lives.
Yes, that’s my point. A person in that situation cannot afford to go on strike indefinitely. They need whatever income they can get.
If you want people in such situations to join the strike, then the community support for their needs must be available and provided up front. Not for like a day or two, but for however many months or years it takes them to find a new source of income after they get fired from their job for going on strike for weeks.

It’s a general strike for a reason. It sucks for everyone for a reason

AND I DIG IT. But this shit don’t happen cause it’s convenient. Meanwhile folks here complain enough action didn’t happen…
Again, “convenient” is very different from “my kids are starving”.
Always has been and the folks that perpetuate this shit work on a dif level. Running in empty ain’t your friends club…
