Y'all sound like the cosplaying "Palestine" protestors.

Nobody has even articulated any demands so far. Do you even know what you'd protest for?

Or is the fantasy of a nationwide protest to stick it to The Man the entire attraction without regard to any demands?

I suggest you all stock up on generators and cans of gas to run them, toilet paper, canned goods, bottled water, etc. before you protest by not going to work for weeks or months. Because you won't be able to get any of those things, including electricity and water (this won't be like COVID where the government mandates essential employees still go to work). Definitely during the protest and likely for weeks or months after, in the case of shipped goods.

Also, not sure how long the internet would stay up without anyone manning the switches at the telecom companies. Good luck staying organized with your protest without that.

Finally, I highly, highly advise not getting sick or hurt during that time. Even if there is anyone at the ER to see you, their supply chains for medicine and medical supplies will have been disrupted just like the supply chains for everything else.

Do ya'll not remember what happened during COVID? It was only a little while ago. Remember how the government spent trillions to prop the economy up during and after that? I hope reducing government spending isn't part of your demands package, if you actually do come up with one.

I've already done this. I kind of waffled back and forth, but as of 2 months ago, the only taxes I pay are SS and Medicare.

So I did go first.

You want to fight the government? I suggest you talk to the January 6th protesters who are getting 10 years for protesting an election and who have been thrown in solitary while awaiting trial. There was no safety in numbers for them.


The front line, according to their Marxist captors, is being held in captivity. With an election so close, we ask they stay strong.

Massive work strikes in key industries is better.

Trucking, trains, electric grid, hospital.

We need to form a new type of worker's union. One whose cause is not for more pay or less work hours, but for more liberty, less taxes and regulation.


While that is smart thinking sir... Couldn't we just do it the Democrat Party way... With Rioting, looting and burning? I'd like to start with THE VIEW and Colbert.

Not paying taxes will get you in jail. Sick outs are the way. They don't need our taxes, they need our energy and labor.

I would be OK with my federal withholding being remitted to the State Treasury and held in trust until the end of the governments fiscal year.
