    I think what needs to be said here is- yes it’s so terrible but in general day to day life for everyday Americans hasn’t really changed. That and the general ignorance of things means that people really are not ready to “go strike” or do anything at all.

    The overall attitude is more “this is slightly annoying at most” and that is not the attitude that leads to general strikes (nor can most afford to do that here anyway.)

    Everyone on the outside in is saying this and that- most Americans don’t know or aren’t affected enough from what they understand to make those steps.

    That is reality here. Like I get the arguments but you also have to understand it isn’t bad enough for most people. My thought is once it is it’ll all be way too late.

      And France protested but it wasn’t or wouldn’t effect they’re everyday life. But they obviously pay more attention.
