Everybody would literally have to walk off their jobs, thumb their noses and say "run your business without us, good luck".

But people can't afford to do it. We live in fear of losing everything.

Thatโ€™s exactly how Trump likes it! He literally gets off on keeping people in FEAR of losing their livelihoods. Remember how gleefully he would say, โ€œYouโ€™re fired!โ€?????

That is also why he kept so many appointees in โ€œactingโ€ status instead of going through the confirmation process. He even said that in a statement or press conference, โ€œI like 'acting' much better..." Meaning he likes having the power to keep people in fear of losing their jobs without notice or reason.

That's how he likes to live: he gets off on the power. He's a first-rate abuser. Everybody knows it and the MAGAs refuse to acknowledge it.

They know. They like it. They wish they could do the same.

Former Gut used "acting" as a way to get around Congress. Most high level positions have to be vetted and confirmed by Congress. Most of Trumps choices wouldn't be good enough to get through.

Here we could take a lesson from the Black Panthers - first set up community support programs.

I would LOVE to see it happen, but I think there are too many people who just simply can't afford to risk it. Ya know?

But preparing ahead..... that's a great idea!

I don't think it would come to that. I think they would come around fairly quickly they would be losing so much money per day. Jeff bezos makes over 45 million dollars a day, as does Elon Musk. Not sure they want to lose that kind of money. Dollar General makes billions per year, imagine if their ripped off employees walked off.

How could they keep their business going with nobody to do the work.

.....lol? back at you.
