They aren’t listening? Make them listen. In a capitalist society, moral arguments carry little weight. Bring the chaos to them. A general strike to shut the economy down even for a day - with the promise to repeat if nothing changes. This is your country, not Trump’s, not Miller’s. These are your streets. Your neighbours. They won’t listen until they have to listen. Remind them who makes the country run. Trump is replaceable. Miller is replaceable. Musk is replaceable. Bezos is replaceable. Zuckerberg is replaceable. But you, the citizens, are not replaceable. You are America. America is nothing without you. They’re not holding up their end of the bargain. They’re making your lives miserable, not better. They’re hoarding wealth. They’re cheating, lying, robbing, behaving like entitled brats while you’re working, paying your fair share, trying to do right by others, asking for no more than your fair share. You’re raising tomorrow’s Americans - and you’re paying a lot for it. It’s your data they’re selling. It’s your vote they’re buying. It’s your rent cheque, your mortgage, your taxes, etc. etc. It’s not communism; it’s not socialism to demand that your investment brings stability, security, freedom from worry, from hate, from undue suffering. It’s called a social contract. So shut it down. They are nothing without you. But you will carry on and keep carrying on long after they’re gone. Be like Bartleby the Scrivener. For one day say I prefer not to. Then say it again the following week. And again the week after that. I prefer not to.

Take your country back. You are too big to fail. The free world needs you.
