    Absolutely agree. And the fuel cost plus the endless devaluation of labour there makes it harder. But these are truly unbelievably unprecedented times. Another thing I tend to forget is that every week they let their own kids get shot into pieces at their schools and they have yet to change a gun law.

    There are actions that don’t require transportation. I mean in 2-3 months of this, nobody will be driving to a low wage or gig economy job anyway. Capitalism will hopefully activate auto-general-strike mode that way.
