No work and you get fired. Don't pay bills and you just get charged late fees, followed by your credit rating being ruined. So who gets hurt there?
Simply staying home and not shopping at all would be sufficient if we got all Dems to do it, but good luck with that. Even 3000 doing it in a country this size would not even be a drop in the bucket of the economy. And a buying revolt of the size needed would take months to coordinate, not a couple of weeks.
We do have the power to change what is happening, the problem is this country is just too %^&* big for citizens to coalesce to do anything. Isn’t that why we elect representatives?
