Not only that, the remaining 1/3 see all the shit that he does now and all they can manage to do is have a few people protest every now and then. Maybe take a Friday off every month or so as a “strike” to show they are super serious now.
A large proportion of people have massive debt and a non-insignificant portion are using BNPL just to buy groceries. The average American cant afford a surprise $400 expense without hardship, and the vast majority dont make $400 in a shift. Many not even in 2 shifts.
Americans may get paid in dollars, but the country we live in is less affordable than pretty much any other country in the world in terms of our wages. Its not exactly easy for people to take a day off and protest.
And it doesnt help that most of these planned protests are on a Saturday, which is universally a day that service workers are expected to work on. 8/10 people in this country are service industry workers of some form or another.
Who exactly is offering to support broke ass Americans so that we can protest any of this? Oh yea, nobody is…
Whats happening to all the people the system is failing? We have a lot of guns here in the US, and with people living paycheck to paycheck there must be a few who dont get their paycheck. They, uh, don’t seem to be doing much for being the ones most impacted.
