    I mean, I get the desperation. But drop everything and…do what?

    Calling for a massive strike is one thing. But just “drop everything” with no follow up is a weird reaction. It sounds way too much like, “drop everything and panic.” Not “sacrifice everything to try to save what we can of the livable world.”

      Drop everything and enjoy life while it lasts.

      It may be shorter than you were planning on.

      Well, the only thing that could reasonably help us would be to demolish the 1% and the corrupt politicians who support them. And yes, that would include an armed uprising.

      Not that that I see that happening unless it gets much worse. We still have (some) bread and games left to pacify the masses.

      I will add another case of emergency food to my garage, finally get that Costco membership and buy some gold, and grab a bit more ammunition. Do some more research about buying land off the grid.
