Edit: Because of the number of negative and discouraging comments that are counterproductive to the message of this post, I have decided to remove select comments that discourage organization. I apologize in advance if your comment is removed inadvertently.
I removed 32 comments.
how about you stop posting about it with a PNG on a forum that gets like 20k visitors a month (high end) and go talk to your neighbors and coworkers about doing something more directly local?
My fiancee works in elder care as a cook. If she stops working then vulnerable people go hungry. That goes triple for the medical staff.
So while I'm on board with the idea, everyone needs to remember that some people need to do their jobs no matter the situation, or else it's counterproductive to the cause, not to mention just wrong overall.
Really appreciate that. Thanks.
Read this fucking comment section. A bunch of losers who won't contribute a damn thing to making change happen.
Good grief.
A lot of losers in this thread think that literally anything mildly disruptive brings about change. That's not how it works. Change is from paperwork and ballots, not fire and empty shelves.
In order to get to "really disruptive" you start at "mildly disruptive". That's how movements work.
